On to the next phase, I'm looking at my filthy twin HS2 SU carbs. What is the best reference book for rebuilding and what kit is recommended. I did purchase the SU tool kit from Moss and have the Haynes manual on order.
 
Buy your rebuild parts from Joe Curto. he has the best parts, and is probably one of the only vendors in the business that when you're talking to him, you're talking to a man that has built thousands of SU carbs, try that with the girl who answers the phone at Vicky Brit.

Here's a set of HS2s I just finished for a SCCA racing Midget, custom heat shield relocated, custom throttle cable bracket, no choke linkage, not needed for the race car.

Works of art Hap.
 
Thanks, you guys are a wealth of information without which I would be even more clueless than I already am about some aspects of these cars. Plus I would be at the mercy of the Vicky Brit girl!!

That is a sweet looking rebuild, very nice work.

I'm calling Joe tomorrow.
 
Great looking carb Hap. I like that custom heat shield. Do you make any of those for the B'?

The only reason I do the alternate heat shield on the race midget carbs is for the funky header designs racers use, racing headers are a whole different game than street headers. For street MGB carbs I normally use the stock heatshield, it's a good design. Could I, sure, but it would hard to make something better than a new stock one for the money.
