SU carbs HIF7s
Discussion
I did not have the bits in the first place, that's half the problem. The carbs are an up grade for another car project with smaller carbs on at the mo. I might have to buy a book at some point if no one can help. Going to take the set up to a classic car restorers this morning, they may be able to point me in the right direction. Getting the parts are not a problem, plenty about and cheap, just knowing which bits.
Regards.

I'll try and get some pics, might be a while.
RR and Jaguar use quite different linkages (partly because one's a V8 and the other is a Straight 6 as much as anything else I guess). The RR uses an automatic choke. You open it with the throttle, and it closes by itself as the engine warms. A manual choke would be easier.
Jaguar XJ6's don't use chokes, they have a secondary carberettor that's switched out by hot air from the exhuast manifold. It's a terrible, terrible system. E-types have a conventional choke, but they have 3 carbs.
I dare say a system from a Mk2 Jaguar might be the simplest? Or how about a Triumph, many including the Spitfire 1500 has twin SU's and a very simple choke/throttle linkage.

Ok, thanks.RR and Jaguar use quite different linkages (partly because one's a V8 and the other is a Straight 6 as much as anything else I guess). The RR uses an automatic choke. You open it with the throttle, and it closes by itself as the engine warms. A manual choke would be easier.
