Solex FAI Carburettor Jets

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

I have a Solex 26MHG that I got really cheaply on eBay. It's the same model as on my 1929 Tourer. Does anyone have details of these such as a drawing as there is a difference between the one that came with the car and the new one. The new one has a copper pipe inside the auxilliary jet body which has the upper end swaged in to form a sort of jet. This isn't present in my original. I know the same carbs were used in France on the likes of the Amilcar so I presume there could be minor differences specified by manufacturers.

Sorted this out - it was the main jet in fact and I think someone had made a replacement internal jet from copper pipe!
