What are these SU carbies from?

[Frednerk]

Someone gave me these years ago, thinking I would put them on my Sprite - which I haven't done.

Does anyone know what they were originally from?

Many thanks

MG T type I think, TC or TD, though they look a bit big. What diameter are they?

Thanks for the suggestion. They are 1.5". What did the TC and TD run?

I just Googled some pictures of engines of TCs and TDs. They do have a large chunk of aluminium attached to the carbs, but I think it looks a different shape to the ones on my set.

Any other suggestions are welcome??

Thanks

Much too big for T types.

Possibly from the Big 4 Riley engine, used in several 1940s and 50s models until the dreaded BMC swept Riley away.

Thanks Roger. I'll check with the Riley guys.

Apparently the later TD's (MkII and up) used 1.5" carbs, I will bet that the TF's did too
