Subject: Re: inlet manifold for solex 44 phh Jay hi The inlet manifold and even new Solex carbs can be still purchased from Aston Service Dorset, at a price of course. I have never checked to see if the inlet manifold set up as used on both period Alfa's and also certain Mercedes is the same -, unlikely though. I have noted that both the carb placement and linkages between the Solex's on these cars is al very different to the Rapide, so do take care. Simon |

Subject: Re: inlet manifold for solex 44 phh I'd expect the manifolds on Alfa 2600, Mercedes 190 and Rapide all to be different as the engines will have different dimensions. I have a spare pair if you get really stuck |
