I'd assumed the later one might have been adapted to improve the flow of air and improve the mixture perhaps, looking rather similar to the Dell'orto 22mm carbs and possibly being only f...

Re: Scary stuff

I'm sure MB used to claim that they were made in the UK. Although I looked recently and there is no mention of their origin so presumably they are now sourced from outside the UK. Two and two = ?
