The Truth About Solexs?!

Some may recall there was some debate a few months back regarding the size of the stock Solex /Mikuni carbs (from for sale section) and I for one, thought / had only seen the Mikunis that were roughly 40mm intake.
Well after recieving a couple of sets of Solexs lately I was suprised to discover some variances. It appears that the earlier Solexs do indeed have a larger intake, partially due to a removable inner ( not the emulsion tube ) and that they form a sort of false internal diameter to narrow it down to the 40mm
so here are some measurements to look out for
(all listed are diameter readings)
Older Style Solex
Intake end 48mm
head inlet 41mm
emulsion tube outer dia 41mm
emulsion tube inner diameter 32mm
Later Model Solex
Intake end 41mm
Head Inlet 40mm
emulsion tube outer 41mm
emulsion tube inner 32mm
Ill take some pictures of both in the near future so you can see what I mean
