no, very different, & they are Stromberg CD s, which are not as good as SU's as they get older because they are more complicated & have a rubber bits that fail, & do not have such a good Jet Selection
The Monaro Motors SU conversion was featured in a late 50's Modern Motor,

urk, now sick of looking through Modern Motors, the article I was thinking of was July 57 & it was twin Solexes, there were a number of different people in Australia offering a twin SU conversion for the 36hp, one was the Automotive Carburettor Company in Melbourne, but damned if I can find the Monaro Motors advert, although I have seen it & I had another article somewhere with a 36hp running twwin SU's & a 4 tip Lukey muffler

Theres some pics of our 36hp Monaro Motors kit in the following directory:

http://www.ozaudi.com/ebay/misc/greyt/

I bought it for $25 at a holden swap meet, but it cost a heap to restore & make run right.

The car is now in Andrew Dodd's hands so you should see it around Sydney!

Nice set up Guy. I have a Monaro Motors kit. Very old and crusty, needs a bit of TLC. The SU's corrrode badly. The manifold and linkages are all good. Air filters ok.
Longterm plan to put it on a future oval project.

Tripped over it at the Baccus Marsh swap a couple of years ago.

Sorry BB not for sale mate.

Dragging this post up from the depths does anyone have one of these kits or anymore info on these kits. I wouldn't expect many kits would of been sold depending on how long they were available from.
recycle, restore, enjoy
