Hello All,
Slippery Anne used a 30 mm Cox Atmos side draft carburettor bolted straight onto the intake side of its roots supercharger. Across the course of my project I have searched for one to fit to the car, but to no avail, until last week, out of the blue one appeared on e bay, with a buy it now price of £120, needles to say I hit the button as soon as I spotted it.
I do not know if he was correct, but a Cox Atmos expert told me that they never actually produced the type 30 as anything other than pre production samples, as such, I had begun to wonder if I would ever see let alone be able to buy one.
I have read that the Austin competition department used the same carb on other Austen 7 race cars, which naturally leads me to ask the forum if anyone has any further knowledge or insight to the use of these interesting carbs?
Regards, Mark.
