Fuylvia 1.3 Carbs

[mat]

Hi

Having spent alot of time balancing and tuning the Solex carbs, they now run ok. As is often said, they are not the best carbs ever made. As we know the 35mm DHLB is a rare thing, despite searching some French yards for old Simcas (which I think used them), what other decent carbs fit the standard manifold? (Or should I change it to take DHLAs etc)
thanks

unfortunately, they're DHLB 32, not 35, but there's a seller on eBay that has 5 pairs (!), NOS (!), that he's selling one pair at a time. eBay 190310432786

Ed, thanks. I had seen these previously, but a little small really. Do you know if any other carbs fit the standard 1300cc manifold
thanks

I've never heard of anything but the stock Solex or the Dell'orto DHLB. AFAIK, anything else requires a different intake manifold.
