An earlier, one-off special Sterling Nikki. Note the custom accelerator pump nozzle and the gaskets installed on either side of the accelerator pump diaphragm. This was the premiere tested prototype for the Sterling modified accelerator pump, which included a lever extension, increased housing volume and larger nozzle set. Although today's Sterling Nikkis do not utilize the extra gaskets or custom AP nozzle sets, they are modified internally to behave the same way as this prototype.

 

 

 

 

A typical finished Sterling Nikki, painted in silver. All linkage, the main bracket and the fuel rail assembly have been zinc plated before receiving a second protective coating of silver paint.

No, it's not the Sterling Nikki Brady Bunch!

It's orion84gsl's Sterling Nikki, zinc plated and custom painted in black, gold and silver.

 

orion84gsl has been a great customer of mine, showing off his carburetor every chance he gets. His car is showcased here, on Car Domain.

...It's even named "Nikki".    : )

A typical stock rebuild. Most SMW Race Nikkis for SCCA classes will look like this. Only modifications for classes specifically outlined in the current rule will be made for SMW Race Nikkis.
