Oh I understand now, sorry I was being a little slow figuring it out... and I would have bought that adapter too

I've found it here https://www.autodoc.co.uk/febi-bilstein/1867394 seems to be the same part number just a few quid cheaper cant complain. Thanks!

I'm not too sure that is the right item, as the one that comes with the Weber kit looks like this. https://www.webcon.co.uk/products/15272-pierburg-to-weber-3234dmtl-base-adaptor-pack/

In the image I posted, I showed where the metal mount meets the manifold with the rubber on top of that. The rubber looks OK but the mount is very badly split and warped. Upon searching for replacement mounts I couldn't find one that looks like my broken one, So I referred to the image of a brand new Weber 32/34 MK2 kit and the mount that I'm supposed to have looks nothing like mine... just a £90 replacement

Hi, I recently bought a MK2 1.6 Driver which has a "Weber" carb which I have self-ID'd as a 32/34 but don't know enough to be certain. The car was having high idle issues before I purchased (1200-1500rpm) and seeing as I had never owned a MK2, would be a great idea to get into it. Here's what I found at the base of the carb after removing the filter box.

I am assuming the piece that has cracked (and most likely the cause of my vac leak) is an adapter mount. However, when I look for a replacement online, the mount that shows up looks nothing like the one which is broken but looks more like a "FoMoCo VV" mount. Could this be why it has broken in the first place and does anybody have any more insight on whether I should even continue using the carb at all, as I could probably convert the whole car into an injection clone for the price of a new Weber - if it is not affordable or recommended to repair. Thanks for any insight.
