Linkert M5 Carb

[T. Cotten]

On my 1940 Crocker it is stamped M55C. It is a 3 line type. The second 5 is slightly smaller. The C is off the boss like the B on a M74B

Does the M have serifs, Dave?

Note how the fives can appear to be different as they are obviously hand-stamped.

The 5s should be the same size as the M, probably from the same set of stamps...

Thanks,

PS: Palmer's declared the M55s to be "a 1950s replacement carb"; That leaves a big empty bubble, don't it?

No serifs, the second 5 is definitely smaller and the C is smaller. I will try to load a pic in the future.
