[new to this]

Hi

I would like to order some carburettor mounts,looked on the parts list,they show 1 7/5 and 2 inch,i think mine are 2inch but how do i measure them to be sure,also do i need O rings with these carb mounts ?

thanks for any help Dave

Standard HS6 carbs are 1.75"

You need to measure the diameter of the throat of the carburettor body.

Alternatively, if there is still a small ID tag held beneath one of the float chamber lid screws, post what code is stamped on it and we'll tell you what the carbs are.

The carb mounts are one of the parts we still carry, and I believe they come supplied with O rings.

I don't, sorry Dave, it's not one of the lines I'm involved in. An e-mail enquiry to tdcspares should elicit a prompt answer though.

The 1.75" alloy mounts for the standard Sprint carbs come complete with 'O' rings. They are on order but not sure when they will be here.

They look like HS8 (2") possibly, as both float chambers are to the rear. Measure the diameter of the throat to be certain.

Pair of HD8's there either off a Jag ( I hope) or a Rover 2000TC ( wrong for a dolly unless well modified

The club mounts will not work as these are two inches.

I suspect the Rover origin due the the fuel connection, which looks more Rover-ish plus the Jag has a starting carb fitment.
Could be wrong though?

How do they run?

The club sell the 2" version as well but I would have to order them.

Do you know how long it would be to have them in stock ?

Do you have to take the carb off the manifold to be able to measure the diameterof the throat

No need....they are HD8's.

8 = 2 inches in SU parlance....

6 = 1.75 inches

4 = 1.5 inches.
