OK picked up this set of carbs a few years ago now supposedly for a minor but although the centres of the manifold is 6'' the flanges are way to small to be an A series so I'm wondering if they are a set for a sidevalve?

They are for a Ford sidevalve but will fit the Morris 918cc sidevalve, depends what cylinder head you have on. :D

Thanks mate but I've tried the Ford sidevalve people and they tell me they are 6.5'' centres on the manifold not 6'' so thats why I'm thinking flathead Minor.

It has been suggested to me that they may be Austin 7 carbs
