I'm not at all familiar with the Peugeot 106, but I'll try to help as best I can! Throttle cable depends on whether the end of your original one will reach the spot where it needs to attach to your bike carbs. You'll likely need to use what's called a "solderless nipple" which fixes to the end of the throttle cable and allows it to attach to the carbs. You can often find bike carb throttle kits if your original isn't suitable. Original fuel filter will be fine, however it's the fuel pump you need to worry about. You need to have low fuel pressure, around 3psi. This can be achieved with a fuel pressure regulator. I use a Malpassi Filter King, which has a built in filter, but you can get them without. The problem is, even at the right pressure some fuel pumps can flood the carbs, in which case you might need to fit the little electric fuel pump from the same type of bike. I'm by no means an expert, but I hope that helps!

@@VictoryOverAll I see. Thanks for your help 👍🏻

I'll be back! I still have the car, but it's still on Anglesey. Got it MOT'd in December and will be bringing it over to France in April. Work and other projects have taken priority for now, but I'm hoping to have edited the rest of the build diary footage by then... Don't hold your breath though!

justin magana I actually used a bicycle brake cable cut to length. I cut the "nipple" off one end, leaving one to attach to the pedal, threaded it through the original cable sheath from inside the car, then on the carb side I used a "solderless nipple" to attach it to the carbs. If the original cable is long enough you could get away with just attaching a solderless nipple to the carb side. With the choke/fuel enrichment cable I just bought an off-the-shelf one meant for a car and fitted that in a similar way with another solderless nipple on the carb side. Lots of talk of nipples, but it's less fun than it sounds!

Not a daft question at all! There's a lot of debate about what's best to use, but I kept the original mechanical fuel pump and fitted a fuel regulator set to about 1.5psi. Bike carbs need no more than 3psi of fuel pressure, and ideally about 1.5psi. Most people suggest fitting an electric pump from the same model bike that the carbs came from, or at least an electric pump that supplies a fairly low pressure. The Pinto fuel pump with a regulator between the pump and carbs is fine, but on another engine I'm not sure how the mechanical pump would manage. To be on the safe side I'd say look for a fuel pump from a bike. Obviously if you were going for bike throttle bodies with fuel injection it's a completely different ballgame... which I know nothing about!

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly... much appreciated. Just starting into a kit car build and its a big learning curve so thank you for setting me in the right direction on at least this issue.

The carb sets I've bought came from 1998 Thundercats, but I'm pretty sure they used the same carbs from '96 to '03. You can find useful info about different bike models and the carbs they use here www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/bikes/Yamaha%209.htm
