Burlen Fuel Systems in the UK supply only the all plastic float for all HS type carbs - they describe it in their catalogue as non-adjustable and say that it supercedes all previous HS floats. As George says though, the important thing is the float level in the bowl - once the floats achieve the correct level then there's no problem.

As far as the correct needles are concerned, if the car is not running lean or rich on the current needles then the current needles are probably ok.
