I have two hs2 carbs, I want to change my single hs2 carb setup into a twin setup, is the carb on the right salvageable and can I use these two carbs in a twin setup, sorry if this is a stupid question, this is my first car and still learning all I can, This is to go on my 1098cc A series engine

it'll be fine...

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

And also Is it possible to use these as a twin setup instead of single, what would I need to do/ buy to them a left & right carb and linkage kits ect?

Thanks

You can't convert them to a true left and right set. But you can use two of the same side with a special linkage and a single choke. That's what the early tuning kits did. Have you got a manifold? I have a couple spare and some less crusty carbs too if you are interested
Here is the original tuning kit:

So you'll have the carbs and manifold like this


With the linkage setup similar to this


When you get the rebuild kit for the carbs, the new throttle spindles are normally a bit longer than standard, which is what you need. You can then join the throttle spindles similar to above.

Thanks for the help that's exactly what I was wanting to know and I don't have a manifold and I would be interested thanks

Kits were sold by BMC back in the day for Minis and Morris 1100 using 2 carbs like that.
My 850 had a set when bought.
They worked OK, however the choke is only connected on one carb.
Only problem I found is the W clips on the throttle joining shaft tend to bite into it, making throttle synchronization a hit and miss affair.
