I have used them in the past for other applications. I was very supprised when I said what the car was, and they had a listing for it. I have no tag on my carb but the details are
Carb Type:- HIF44 needle type:- BFS the jet is standard, I think the whole rebuild kit which includes butterfly,spindle,bushes and seals, float needle and seat, all necessary gaskets and seals £38 + and the needle was about £7. It is worth rebuilding the carb at that price as they do wear and cause lumpy idle and lean or rich running conditions as the needle wears..
Hope this is of interest to anyone
