HS4 carb elbow I.D

Post by rnp68 »

Hi,

I have just acquired these because they may be useful one day.
Does anyone have any idea what car they were fitted to?
They fit HS4's and are correctly spaced for an MGB.
The bolts supplied with them do not fit the HS4 threads.
I think they are cast mazac as they are slightly magnetic.

They could be off an earlier car with twin H4 carbs as they share the same dimensions as the HS4

H4 carbs also aren’t threaded so that would match the studs on your elbows
