3a w/HS6 / inner fender needs

Greetings,
Friday saw my 3a off to a local bodyshop where it will no doubt languish 
for what will seem an eternity. I just finally had to bite the bullet and 
get someone else working on it. Got the car in March ''97 so it's high 
time, and my expectation is that it will motivate me to charge ahead 
through the summer with the probably vane hope that it will be self 
propelled before the snow flies in fall '05.
On to the topic at hand. I want to have the rf inner fender prepared such 
that I can install HS6 carbs should the need arise. I have a TR4A engine 
complete with ancillaries so this is a real possibility - intake, carbs, 
header, downpipe, etc could all see the 3A engine bay a some point. My body 
man wants active participation from the owner and he's going to get it so 
this will be the first thing.

So - how much extra space is really required in the inner fender to 
accommodate the HS6s? If anyone has done this and could provide a few 
measurements it would be very helpful - a picture would be ideal. (Slightly 
awkward for me here is that the engine is not in the car so I don't even 
know exactly where the front edge of the air filter is closest to the fender.)
All help appreciated,
TIA,
JIm
