I have an SU book from Brooklands Books that lists the needles in a 
AUD_1NNN nomenclature, where it looks like the entire series begins with 
AUD_1.  AUD_1467 comes back to 1963-4 Jaguar HD8 triple setups.  Might 
"67" be shorthand for AUD_1467?  Same book lists AUD_467L and AUD_467R 
as the  HIF6 carbs on the 1971-72 Rover 3500 with  CUD_1109 specified as 
the standard needle.  An old Haynes book I have identifies the standard 
needle for that Jag HD8 as a UM needle, with the specs of  being a .125 
Jet Needle with .124  .1205  .1165  .114  .1123  .1104  .1086  .107  
.1056  .1046  .104  .1032  .1025  .1018  .101  .1002

Whew!
