Hi all,

I need some information regarding my solex carburetor fitted to my flat head V8. I was told that the Brengun carriers have a flathead fitted so thought some one in the group may be able to help.

It is a twin choke carb, model no. S1450

Does anyone know were I can get a full set of spares!!

I could also do with a parts drawing and knowing the full spec of the carb.
