SU carb literature/auto literature

Just wondering if anyone has heard of the book "How to build & power tune SU carburators", Des Hamill??

I was doing some research on SU carbs and this guy kept coming up. Apparently he is another SU carb Ninja and his theory on SU carbs is that there is over 300 needle sizes that apply and no two SU carbs work on the same needle size for best performance.

His book gives the tear down and rebuild info like most but he also gives a method for finding the right needle size for your SU's.

I started looking for this book and I was able to find 1 in the U.S. for $120. I looked some more and I found an auto book store in the Netherlands with the book for $70 with shipping.

Check this site out if you are looking for any auto literature that is hard to find!!!

Des Hammill (two ms) is quite knowlegeable about many aspects of the automotive field. I once had a book of his on Weber and Del Orto carbs. I suspect that if you search you can find that book for much less. He has published many a book on tuning, racing, etc.

It just goes to show ya' even the smallest Z thing can be a bottomless pit! And I thought I did my detective work finding this! That is it I am turning in my shoe phone and decoder ring!
