There’s meat in the body to bore them out to 40mm though Glen. Not done it myself but know folk who have.
We prefer our “show whippets” up ‘ere in’t NorthI may be over-disparaging but it smells of "show pony" to me (if that means anything to you northern hemispherers)
I wonder if it's ever been run - in anger? I suppose it depends on the RPM it is intended for - although I suspect above 7000.

Sorry Nigel - my bad!Did you not read the info ‘panel’ I posted a picture of? It’s a famous bike campaigned by a famous rider, Alf Hagon, latterly of shock absorber fame and fortune.
Don’t think he’d take too kindly to the ‘show pony’ accusation!
Ref carb freezing, don’t forget it’s a sprint bike, so only run for short bursts, maybe that super cooled intake charge is part of the reason for its success?!
