Agree with SU HS2. But 1"1/4 or 1"1/8 or anything else... ?
Re: Lanchester Light Six SU Carb
Hi Julian,
not sure if you are aware of SU sizing
"SU carburettor types. For example, if the serial number is HS6, the final number is 6: 6/8 = 3/4", add 1, total is 1-3/4", etc. If the final number has 2 digits, it is the throat size in mm. For example, if the serial number is HIF38, the final number is 38, size is 38 mm etc." from Wikipedia
Therefore HV2 is 2/8" or 1/4" plus 1" =1 1/4"
Hope this helps
Bob

Thanks for the lesson !
Re: Lanchester Light Six SU Carb
Hi I know from past experience, that HV2 SU Carbs are very hard to source, I got around this problem by purchasing a reconditioned HS2 SU from eBay costing around £90:00 ,.
I then contacted Burlen Carburettors , and purchased the correct Needle for it, my Lanchester now runs superbly , of course, an Adaptor will need to be fabricated to connect to the Inlet Manifold, and another to connect the Air Silencer Duct to the Carb Inlet.
Below is a picture of the conversion that I did to my Lanchester Eleven .
