Last ones. I asked and the answer was £1500 but I think that could have been reduced. However, try and find another pair! This was in 2011.

They are super cool but for the money I would rather webers and lots of other engine mods

More fuel, more noise but more power?

Derek;

Very cool...thanks for posting!...Skinner's Union meets Eduardo Weber...I've seen them before:

...I want them, and if I couldn't find (or make) a manifold with which to put them on a B20, only to polish and display them!

Cheers

Outstanding just wish I had the money. I think when my SUs wave bye bye I will go for bike carbs.

Wow, siamesed SU carbs! :speechless-smiley-5

Thought i'd seen most carbs in my time but they're a new one on me!

Gut feeling says too little thought/development and too much to go wrong as a result, stick to Weber or Del'Lorto equivalent as they're tried and tested.

I could be completely wrong, they might have a lot of development and be perfectly reliable but purely from the point of view that spares for them would be difficult to source, i'd still go for a more conventional approach.

Nice to see them though! :thumbs_up:

Dave;

I actually think they would just be wonderfully simple in their complicated (looking) elegance! ...a Dashpot and Metering needle per cylinder, and the rest as we know and love!

Cheers

You could be right Ron but one float per "pair" or two? Shared float bowl or a single one?
