The long insulator block spacers are very nice... keeps the heat out of the carb bodies very well and gives you a little more intake length (no, still not quite "tuned" but seems to work better).

HIF44 carbs are reputed to give even more flow (the "metric" version).

Dunno if Rhys offers them as a set, however. I don't think they came stock on anything (I've been wrong before... maybe in Switzerland?) so the linkages would have to come off a HIF6 anyway... unless you know exactly what you need and how to order it from the various gurus (Rhys) or Burlen Fuel Systems.

Never in my life had the SUs "ice-up" but I don't live in Canada. Seems that the argument for icing is the same as the argument for excess heat transfer to the carbs but one ignores the effect of the other (depending on what you are arguing for)... I'm unconvinced. The longer residence time in the manifold at idle is probably good but the effect is largely lost at anything other than an idle.
