Ian - agree, but I just think the 1 1/4 looks too modern even though it's the easiest route. And I've got a finally-restored OM unit sitting here. I spoke to John Barlow today who has some steel flanges so even if I have to make an additional 1" one up myself, it shouldnt be too difficult to weld up to add to the log manifold. (Howard has done the entire thing in aluminium as a pleasing single bespoke manifold, but I can't find the wall thickness he used - I don't want a carb hanging on 1.6mm aluminium tube).
Henry's updraft Solex idea - are around but expensive so not worth pursuing.
