Hello all,

I am restoring a TR6 and want a conversion kit for the carburetors. I've been told that the SU HIF44 would be perfect. Ok, it's easy to empty my wallet and buy an expensive set but that's not only less fun but also will extend the project as other things have to wait longer.

My question(s):

Can I buy *any* HIF44 and use it later for 'the' conversion ?
Where/what manifold do I need ?
Anyone has a document (online) how to do it / what you need ?
Anyone know where I can buy a 'kit' to do the conversion ? I need linkage system etc. etc.

In other words: Any help about the HIF44 conversions is much appreciated !
(Or better advice(maybe about an other conversion))


Cheers,

Lennart
 
Lennart: The trick is finding the right metering needle. The SU should be able to be bolted onto your stock manifold ( I see your TR6 is a Federalized model).
Moss USA offers a kit using new HS6 carbs: https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=39723
You might also want to contact Joe Curto, an acknowledged expert on this side of the pond: https://www.joecurto.com/
As another option go to a triple carb manifold. I am installing one of these on my TR250: https://www.goodparts.com/parts_strom.html
 
Or, as you are in the Netherlands, a bit closer to home is Revington TR (Neil suggested HIF44's to use instead of strombergs on my tri-carb set up and I believe he has some info on a regular conversion to HIF44's from ZS-175's)

and Burlen Fuel systems, where you can find all you might need for SU carbs.

both are in the UK.
