For these, you'll need to search the ads, jumbles, etc. they are the SU's with the brass fittings, and the choke arrangement that looks like a mass of levers. For the twin setup (I have one or two....but they're in use) the throttle linkage looks like sprung clamps.....also, the carbs dont have springs in the dashpots, just weighted pistons. Maybe the Aquaplane manifolds made in recent times by Belcher, and now Smallfordspares, will have bores and stud spacings more suited to 'modern' SU's? If a problem, why not make up your own manifolds?alastairqueen1 MSNhttp://msn-alastairqueen1.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701057294842978995.post-18796600349850642582007-02-18T12:38:00.000-08:002007-02-18T12:38:00.000-08:00i think you have 1 1/4" carbs and should have...i think you have 1 1/4" carbs and should have 1 1/8" onesren5 MSNhttp://msn-ren5.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
