    I wasn't planning on buying a set, but they have certainly piqued my interest

    The float bowl angle is a bit too shallow for use on MC19/22/'s I think ?

    Agreed, when I first looked at them I wondered the same

    Copy which isn't full downdraft from the mid body seal down to the float bowl is shaped differently

    Screen Shot 2020-09-16 at 8.36.25 am.png

    Authentic which will obviously install at a much steeper downdraft angle

    Those FCR copies are not the downdraft version.

    Oh, I misunderstood when you said "have landed." Alibaba, the bulk wholesaler, have these, if you buy 100+

    If they were downdraft carbs which I could potentially use I'd actually take a punt, not on 100 though WHOAH

    Box of vintage midget speed car models just arrived from USA. Not going through 2nd childhood, trying to stay sane recovering from open heart surgery. Seven weeks out and still can’t turn a spanner. But can repair speedos tachos and build replica Sydney Showgrounds speedway speed cars:)

    16C9D84D-D187-4263-B388-BC4A15CE692B.jpeg Yes, there is a company that makes replica 1/24th transfers for the famous 60s/ 70s speed car pilots., Johnny Stewart Sid middlemass, ray redding, Peter Cunneen etc. The old Sydney showground Speedway in the 60s was a combination of colosseum, race track, and old world total lack of consideration of life and limb. The first international speed car driver to attempt fitting a roll cage was told to remove it or be disqualified. Those old cars were way more dangerous than the bikes and the fatality rate reflects this.

    Love that "Speedway Royale" link. Off topic, but our local was the Brisbane exhibition ground speedway. It was weird in that it combined wholesome family fun with drunken feral behavior...just seemed normal to us youngsters. I always enjoyed the big saloons probably because in my very early years (before moving to Brisbane) we watched them racing around Carnell Raceway in Stanthorpe. Mostly 6-cylinder, 3-carb jobbies and a few V8's for comedy relief. That track was super slippery. I've got some black&white photos somewhere, which I must try and find and scan before they fade away to nothing.

    The Brisbane Exhibition grounds track is long gone, but here are some links for anyone interested...
