You can see the modification to move the overflow tank forward with dual SU's
at:
http://davet.choice.net/mg/restoration3.html (not my car, but a nice
documentation of the restoration! It looks sort of tilted here, but I think it
can be done straight)
Here is the 'normal' position directly over the shock (albiet with Weber
manifold):

It's just a couple of inches difference.
Hope this helps.

Mike,
I installed HS4s in my 79 Midget last year and had the same problem - no
room for the overflow tank. I ended up mounting it just in front of the
battery - I took out the heater and detoxed it at the same time. Let me know
if you find a suitable mount close to where it is supposed to go.
