Help me set up these Webers, Basic Weber questions Options

[MikeK]

Hi friends. I'm currently installing some Weber clones on my 70 and have run into some issues. I'm using a CB linkage and filter bases. I tried installing the carbs with the linkage to the rear of the car, but the drop links hit the torsion springs used on the trunk. I flipped the bases so the crossbar is towards the front of the car, but the linkage needs to rotate counter-clockwise (see photo) in order to operate the carbs. I guess I could run the throttle arm on the top of the linkage and pull it that way, but I would prefer the arm to be in the down position. I was thinking maybe a custom cable which would be longer and come in from the back or perhaps some kind of lever to reverse the rotation?

I don't know, but I'm sure this has been dealt with in the past. Just looking for an elegant solution. As a side note, tall air cleaners most definitely don't fit the passengers side.

Thanks in advance.

The tangerine solution is elegant if it fits your budget. I have mine roughly like you do, not the same bar though. There are some different accel cable mounts to help out too.
Maybe more pics will show up.

The sync-link setup looks great, but I'm just trying to get this thing running on a budget. The manifolds were a gift from a friend, I've got a 009 I can modify to get it close and I was even gifted a linkage setup, though it was a little sloppy for my taste. This is a new, CB setup.
