Bud,

I'm pretty sure they are AUD426 and perhaps another model too. I don't have
Bentley's with me so I can't confirm.

In what

Yup, I thought all MG's were the same as mine, till I saw that mine was the
exception to the rule. My car is a 1970 model, 18GJ motor (EEC, ELC, CCV),
it has the spring loaded, self centering needles in the carbs, and the
poppet valves (well used to!). Instead of the fuel line seperating at a tee,
the fuel line goes directly to the front float bowl. The overflows between
the two carbs connect to each other via a steel pipe, and it overflows, via
an exit on the steel pipe to a canister.
I couldn't get the Carb-Carb braided line thats normal for these (coz these
types didn't exist in Australia apparently, I found all this out at SU
Midel), so I just made up a carb-carb line with 1/4" fuel line. Pity coz it
would have looked nice. I'm also a bit freaked re: braided hose and the new
aromatics etc they are putting in fuel which seems to be causing
deteoriation in rubber fuel lines. You can't readily tell the condition of a
braided fuel line (In fact Bill at Midel, refuses to sell any of his braided
line these days), a leak is more obvious with a plain rubber line.
Cheers,
Neil.
