 and as difficult as any other Solex.  The "normal" size
 was 35 mm but there -were- some 42's & 45's they're sorta
 cool looking closer bore centers than the Webers...

Thats it! 1091--1584cc's 65-76  71 -130 Hp come to recall-- I've seen three,
one with 45's! 
why are Solexes any worse than Webers? I guess one would have problems getting
jets for them but not much worse than Webers---there's the internet! 
If someone doesn't get exited about them, I'll use them on my sleeved
997cc-->850cc enford 105E in the Coffield.

BTW, I looked at the Fia webpage, didn't see any vintage Homo papers but got
solid pages of stuff! have you figured how to get them?
