Are they off the ark?

I don't recognise the air filter case but I am guessing Riley or MG. (only a guess with no actual facts to back it up)

I can't help identify them, but very interesting set up. Like the dedicated vacuum advance port underneath and that the fuel feed from the float bowls is different position to where the choke arrangement is. Fuel feed & choke are combined on later SU's.

That has been confirmed by the posters on the other forum. (would you believe that Kevin Bartlett knew they were off a Triumph Herald? :shock:)

They are H series SU carbs. They were replaced by the HS series used in the mini.
