speed wrenches they areI’m visiting family today, they often pick things up that they think I might like .. they know me well
What are the 2 half-open spanners at the bottom of the pic for, both are Snap on and made that way not butchered..

VWs are a big thing for them and they have just collected a Speedwell twin SU conversion + extra carbs.
The spare carbs have no adjuster on the bottom of the float bowl. Any idea what those carbs would be fitted to? 2 are new unused so might get used as donor bodies - info would be good before work starts.
Both main carbs have a pin through the bottom adjuster bolt, is this just to make it eat to grip? It doesn’t seem to connect to the drilling inside.

And rather excellent ideas they are, from various manufacturers. We take a Facom one and carefully reshape it to a pattern, cut down in length too, to fit inside one of our machines - makes a one flat at time job on spring loaded nuts to unwound 50mm on 24 sub-assemblies from half a day of mind-numbing tedium to minutes.speed wrenches they are
The pair on the inlet pipes are early style, which were upgraded to the no-bottom-adjust type sometime in the late 60s / early 70s.The spare carbs have no adjuster on the bottom of the float bowl.

Nice.
You can use a 9v battery to hold the injectors open in the ultrasonic. I think I might have some amp connectors somewhere in the pile of boxes in ym workshop.

Don't forget the black condom inside, which was a surefire route to 20mpg..The pair on the inlet pipes are early style, which were upgraded to the no-bottom-adjust type sometime in the late 60s / early 70s.
The early ones are adjustable by using a spanner on the nut and holding the pin or vice versa - I unrecall which.
The later ones had a special tool (available from motor factor shops for a quid) to reach down through the top (once you'd removed the damper cap) and it consisted of a long thin Allen key with a long collar that sat on the shoulder of the needle housing.
Google "Stromberg adjusting tool". https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stromberg+adjusting+tool&iax=images&ia=images
Strombergs were second only to SUs as an easy to setup and almost infinitely reliable carb.
The nicest thing about them was you could throw them a very long distance.
Sorry, but why? do you have too much time on your hands?
