    Had many vehicles over the years using SU carbs (e.g. Rover, Jaguar) - Now I read about some similarities between SU's and slide carbs; but SU's design being simple and elegant - unlike slide carbs, like on FZR's!!

    I still have some 1 1/4" H4 (HS4?) from Mini/Morris Minor if you want to make a manifold and try them.
