I'm using a 5 turbo carb in my turbo converted Anglia with a x/flow
Best to search for a 5turbo being broke
And getting carb,fuel pump and regulator
And a haynes manual of eBay and there's a diagram to show u where all ness parts/pipes go

Fraggle...

TBH the solex is dark age now, spares are getting thin, and they warp/crack alot, are fussy, and need to be kept well serviced/clean.

Throttle diaphrams made of chocolate(i had a box of 10 in glovie box incase) and they are very sensitive to boost pressure, will leak/split all over the place if shoody condition or pushed toooooo hard 20psi is my max.. some see alot more.

replacement one's in GOOD nick cost a pretty penny so be wary of £30ers tbh.

There a good few negatives.

Plus side the Fueling/air can be fiddled considerably but very simply, piece of pish to rebuild/set up and/modify.

All You Need is a good Adjustable FPR with these carbs, and solid supply of fuel.

its simple tecnology that can yield some very good results.

Have a mooch on RTOC.com
