SU Carb or Carbs

Brendan,
There's a lot of different configurations of the round filters, I'm sure you will find ones that will fit. Are those carbs the same bore as the early Jag XKE? The 3.8 L was 231 cubic inch with 3 carbs, so I think 2 would suffice on a Model A's 200 + cubic inch.
I hope NO one considers using some of the earlier, smaller S.U.'s as the old types with the cork jet seals & the rinky-dink choke contraptions are a pain in the butt to keep set up & synchronized & the inline throttle shaft, with it's "waffle" spring connectors are a pain. You've used the best design of the S.U.'s. Bill W.
