I might have a 140 column here.
I did have one a while ago, and I don't recall getting rid of it.
I'll have to have a rumage through the parts/firewood leanto.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

So have just sold my 44mm solex sidedrafts to some guy in Australia, as they were a bit to big for the l16. I am now on the hunt for a pair of 40mm dellorto's if anyone has a spare set? Trying to get a complete setup with linkages and airfilter but will consider anything.

thanks
