I think converting an SU would be difficult as there is no mechanism to pressurise the floatbowl.

Not impossible I'm sure but would need thinking about.

You can buy the HIFs new from burlen fo not a lot of money (£160ish), I'm sure they would export.

i will wait and see wat the local mini specialist finds first. do you think that would be the only problems presuriseing the float bowl and sealing the carb?
