[found] CD Stromberg 175 float bowl plugs & O-rings

Major Ledfoot

The silly plastic float bowl plugs have decided to leak on both Strombergs of my B20B 142, meaning the exhaust manifold gets a nice shower of raw fuel whenever the engine is running.

Volvo wants a small fortune for them.

Can somebody please tell me an alternative part number and supplier for these items?

US$10

Or other non volvo British car parts places are good for stromberg parts. My current set has the brass cap style, which are much better than the plastic if you can get them. I found a pair amongst my spares and don't know what they were originally fitted to.

Better still, SU. I struggle to love the CD 175 even if it is original on most Australian cars

Thank you gents.

$10 USD seems to be the go. I don't intend to keep these things on the car, nor any other revolting carburetors; I just need the beast to run under its own power right now long enough to move it short distances without self-incinerating.

@egads will the rebuild kit for that carb work for a CD175? I need to rebuild one too.

Should do, but their by vehicle thing is solid, chuck in year etc on this page http://zenithcarb.co.uk/?___store=zenith

@egads it actually lists the B21AT! It calls my carb a 175CDSE though. I thought it was just a 175CD.

175CDSE is a variant of the 175CD, not sure on the differences though

True, but I find it easier to deal with somebody like Moss Motors who will ship stuff themselves internationally.

Order done now, let's see how it goes.

EDIT, July 25 - Moss Motors http://www.mossmotors.com delivered these weeks ago. Easy order.
