Amal had some 1 7/16" TT carbs made up for fast Vincent twins and singles just before the Amal GP came out in 51-52.
Our Racing Comet really needs one of these now limited as we are to early Gardners or TT carbs in up to 1948 class. I have been using an early 1-3/8 Gardner but its really only clean at speed not out of the corners and as far as I understand the track amals were much the same. Nowadays the biggest TT available is 1-3/16, I suppose a good lathe guy might squeeze a bit more out of the block, I know that was possible with the 1 1/16 TT carb because Ron Kemp did it.but is there another way? I dont need the whole 1-3/8 I would be happy with 1-7/16 (and also to take it with that to the scrutineers.) I have seen some new big Amals on machines so is someone making new blocks etc for them?. any information gladly received.
