Order of spacers / gaskets

Hi everyone,
Re-build going well.... a bit of advice needed about the order of spacers / heat shields etc.
From the head manifold, through to the carb what order do they go?
ie, head
gasket
heat shield
drip tray etc...
also I have fitted a brand new Amal monobloc carb with manual choke... the space between the top of the carb and the frame looks tight for the cables to enter???
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Mark.
Spacer, drip tray, gasket, carb.
My Super Rocket has concentric, and both cables are tight against frame, and remember with monoblock similar issue

Yes, that's normal. An Amal 389 is a struggle to get on an off. I don't know about anyone else but I have to resort to taking the top of the carb off. Others might have a way of doing it without all that hassle but I have never found a way myself.

The carby top shouldn't have cable adjusters which will make a tight fit.
The original top has plain holes with top hat ferrules to hold the cable ends and gives a bit more room to move.
