Pete & others, Biff Jones, the early HS2 carbs did have a free floating brass float. They are some sort of hybrid. A couple of people said that the floats are prone to stress cracks and can be replac

I have been told that the 1300 Spitfire Mk 3 1967 thru 1970 will fit or possibly a manifold off a UK spec 1500 Midget. How about you blokes over there can you help us out? I too have been looking fo

Be sure to check inside the float bowls -- check to see if there is a lot of "gunk" in them (like rust colored powdery stuff). If so, they really need to be cleaned up or rebuilt. Found a bearing in

Get the intake manifold of an earlier Spitfire engine. If I remember right, you can go all the way back to a Mk II Spitfire manifold, and have it bolt up to a 1500. The earlier engines ran dual SU's,

While the above would work, for the 1500 you probably should get the real carb set for the 1500, which is dual HS4s on a larger manifold. (compared to dual HS2s on a smaller manifold) The carbs are n

A pair of dual HS2's isn't bad though. Especially when compared with a single double especially when looking at the runners on the late ZS manifold (very small). I can't say how much better a set of

It is worth nothing that early MG Midgets come with dual HS2 carbs and it is a semi-popular modification to go from that to a single HS4 carb. (mostly using Mini tuning parts) The cross sectional are

HS4's are 1.5" carbs as used on MGB et.al.: To change them over to Midget use, here is what you need to do: - UK Spec manifold and linkage for Midget 1500 or Spitfire 1500 (The UK cars never had the
