this is not mine but I have one that looks just like it. My manifold doesn't have the JS but it's clearly the JS version as it has the balance tube and everything else.

In the nearly 4 years I have been looking for JanSpeed items on fleabay, can I not recall seeing such a setup ?
but I could have missed one on buy now, or when away on holiday.

David Vizard has some very positive comments, regarding this manifold (see page 155, in his Yellow bible)
He regards this manifold to be one of the best, for either 2 SU,s or twinWeber.
This manifold is also used on my Turbo conversion, but here did JanSpeed convert it, to take the twin choke Dellortho.

I have seen wanted posts, on different Mini forums, regarding this setup, but never seen a price?

With the current "price war" on fleabay, who knows where it will go ? maybe no where ;)

In 1984 it cost 178 pounds, and in 1989 the price was 262 pounds(with HS4,s) .

Yes I also collect the JS catalouges :oops: I collect ALL things JanSpeed :roll: :mrgreen: he he

Sounds like a job for a DU6 twin choke SU. They're a good looking carburettor.
