    Brand new Solex carburettor jets available!

    I have found a company that are able and willing to do a production run of Main jets and Air Corrector jets for the solex 32 Dis Carb'. These will be made to the exact spec of the original items using genuine Renault part drawings.

    Depending on the level of interest the price should be around £2.50 per jet.

    They will be available in the following sizes-

    Main- 1.2mm, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4.
    A/C- 1.00, 1.05, 1.10, 1.15, 1.20, 1.25.

    I am just trying to gauge a level of interest in these jets so i know how many to have made. The more i order the cheaper they will be. If you would be interested in buying some, post up below with what size and how many so i know what to order.

    Thanks.

    would this maybe an idea for the club shop to get a bulk, and then throw some £££ on top, i guess at least then we have the correct jets for years to come.

    i think that weber and pierburg carbs jets fit the solex carb....so you are bound to have jets for a good few years yet.

    They'll be able to supply whatever i ask for, obviously if you wanted it bigger than the sizes ive listed you could just drill them out, but if you want smaller let me know and ill add the sizes to the drawing.

    Why, what sizes are you thinking of dude?

    Re: Brand new Solex carburettor jets available!

    Thanks mate

    1.1mm & 1.15mm main.

    Probably cheaper & easier to source a jet bored to that size, rather than trying to find the relevant drill-bit size.

    Yeah Matt, he's been in touch.

    To all those who have asked for 0.9mm A/C's, sorry, the smallest i had made was 1.0mm, however due to demand i am currently getting a price for some making (along with 0.95 A/C's and smaller size mains, MART!!)


    PLEASE NOTE- I HAVE NOT GOT ANY 1.25mm MAIN JETS LEFT IN STOCK (NOT MANY 1.2's OR 1.0 A/C's LEFT EITHER), IF YOU ARE WANTING SOME PLEASE STILL LET ME KNOW AND IF DEMAND IS HIGH ENOUGH I WILL GET SOMEMORE MADE, THANKS

    i cant see you getting stuck with them. why is the club shop not fronting the cash on things like this. seems a shame members have to do all the hard work when there is money in the pot for things like this.

    I wanted them in the club shop, it would have have worked out cheaper for members that way. Buy more volume=get more discount. But a few committee members didn't want them in the shop, waste of club funds apparently...................

    the shops sh1t and has nothing worth having and we finally get a good item and its refused. steves dials, your jets, scoffs mounts all good items that sold out rapidly. either way i got the parts i wanted but it doesnt seem fair the risk should go on the guy who has taken the time to produce, promote and distribute them for no great profit if any was even made.

    I don't think for one minute think that Clee wouldn't support Stu's efforts as he's always been behind everything I did with the dials but I am surprised to hear that the club didn't want them to go in the shop??

    Anyone else want a game?
