[QUOTE="craig, post: 31153, member: 1959"] found a Vincent at auction with matchbox floats [URL]http://www.classic-auctions.com/Images/Report/109B/44112a.jpg[/URL] details not real clear, but appears like flat alloy sheet fastened under carb, maybe bored thru like a spacer, extended out to side, then up and over. Seems to me you would want to run a matchbox float bowl in-line with the bike rather than crossways as pictured. Certainly I have seen it inline between two Triumph or BSA carbs. In fact i thought that was the intent for this matchbox float bowl (between two close parallel carbs) [/QUOTE]
