These seem to be 1 1/2 inch British SU's (i just took the filter off and measured the throat from there, is this correct?).

 

From searching the part numbers I can see on the carbs, I think the carbs are HS2's?

 

The part number on the fuel bowl lid (aud9203) led me to this http://www.auto-part.com/britCatalogs/su/SUPage.asp?index=SU/&model=2&page=43

 

Which lists it as a "lid - float chamber" for the rear. However this is on the front carb as well. And as you can see in the pictures my fuel bowls are both on the front side of the carb, on the front and rear carb.

 

The damper part number (auc8103) isn't listed for the hs2's though, it's listed for the H2's

 

I have ordered a rebuild kit from black dragon for the later style round top su with the different front and rear carb (I ordered assuming I had the 3 screw round top hitachi/su's, should have checked first :S). These have the needles, seats, gaskets and washers etc. Do you think this will work with the British style carb? I doubt it but you never know. Also, from diagrams, the British float looks similar to the Hitachi float. Does anyone know if this would be interchangeable as well? Cause I was just going to order some from Black Dargon as well.

 

If not I will need to order at least the floats and probably a rebuild kit for them anyway. Does anyone know where I can order British parts from? I'll try Progas in Brisbane http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?topic=5478.new;topicseen#new but does anyone know of any good online or Australian stores for British su parts?

Forgot to mention there was a tab attached to one of the fuel bowl lid screws on the front carb. It said aud291 which I have found out is the identifying code for the carbs (assuming htis is correct for both carbs, who knows what the previous owner has done)

 

So I found this page http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/SUCarburettors/SUCarbMenu.htm

 

It lists aud291 as coming on:

austin 1800 mk II automatic 1968-70 hs6 aud291

 

wolseley 18/85 mk II automtaic 1969/71 hs6 aud291

 

So hs6??
