StevesTR4A1 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I’m looking at either buying outright, or having my own carbs refurbed before I do much research are there any out there for sale please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I would have yours refurbished by Andrew Turner - he comes highly recommended. http://www.su-carbs.co.uk/ Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve? I might be able to help - how do these look? Fully rebuilt on a 4A manifold complete with all linkages etc, ready to bolt on and go!

They are not for the purists but as far as I am aware , are fine for TR's if appropriately jetted and needled Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 No, the ones sold by C & B in the 70's were from the "Allegro Sport" & were correct (after re-needleing - is that a word ?) I know, I bought some, & am still using them. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The £12.50 price tag was also some distant info floating around in the vacuum of my brain. On a serious note then, to avoid posting misinformation, can anyone confirm what the carbs are off in the ebay advert mentioned above? Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I thought they were more than that ? anyway, the ebay ones are on a 4A manifold, so would fit, & work I'm sure. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I thought I had paid Pete Cox £25 for a pair of HS6s at one of our meetings at Tetsworth, but it was along time ago and memories fade! The carbs were fitted to 4VC in the re-build in 1990/1993 as the original H6s were knackered. Curiosity got the better of me! Thought I would see whether I had a record. Found this on 5th December 1971: Pair HS6 carbs £10-0-0 (old money - that's £10.00). Also, on the same date, set of disc pads for £2-3-0, two oil filters for 8 shillings (total) and an SP Sport 165x15 for £7-4-0. Pete's offerings were real bargains! Also noted that I had bought a dynamo for £2-0-0 from Bob LeBrocq (Lebro - see above) on 15th October 1971. Ian Cornish Edited November 8, 2019 by ianc Additional info.

Lebro Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Ha Ha I would never have remembered that Ian. Sorry if I overcharged you ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 This offers are still around: I currently bought a pair of HS6 for 100 Euro, and with them I got a inlet manifold, a pair of Strombergs, a worn diff (to practice/play with) and a TR6 starter for present!

Cheers Rich Both cars were the products of a disintegrating or disintegrated British motor industry & both as awful as each other in my opinion, so it matters not!

Lebro Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Since the manifold is a TR4A one I presume that it what they were last used on. To identify the original application you would need the AU number stamped on a triangular aluminium plate usually secured under one of the float chamber lid screws. Bob.
