[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 177554, member: 58"] The timing is perfect as I was only just reading this morning the lastest MPH - December 2023 which I don't have my paper copy yet but all members can read on the club website. [URL]https://www.voc.uk.com/[/URL] On page 25 to 28 there is part 2 of an article/interview by Bill Hoddinott about the 1950 New York show Black Ligthning that turned up in California a few years ago after 40 years storage. Now that Lightning was made only one month before the Poland Lightning and the New York Lightning was also fitted with TT10 flanged fitting carbs when new which are still on the bike and the MPH article shows a photo of the rare factory carb adaptors which are flanged type. So it looks like some Lightnings were fitted with flanged TT carbs, plus the New York bike was fitted with front & rear heads and not two front heads. Simon [/QUOTE]
