They were sold to me as HS4 .. they’re clearly not! Far too late to do anything about it :( )

I have a pair of HS6's on my 1275.
Yet to take it for a run, so not sure if it is too much carburetion.

My Mini is a road going Mk1 with a 1275 and the twin HS'6s.
Engine starts and idles well, but the car is still a long way off taking it for a run (no doors, interior, glass, etc).
I have sent you a PM if you are interested in selling the rampipes.

I wonder if they'd fit the later HIF6 or HIF44 as well? I can check later as I have a pair on a big 1380 lump.

Ideal for a well tuned MGB with HS6s
