Yeah,
the Hitachi carbs on a 2L are pretty direct (licenced, even) copies of
Skinner Union H6's, and the 1600 got H4's. They're almost part-for-part
compatible, with the exception of screw pitch. However, owning both
types, I can vouch for the superior quality of the Hitachi parts! The
metal's better, the machining is tighter, and they stay properly
adjusted a LOT longer! But it also means that you can get a 'rebuild'
gasket kit from any Brit parts house, a float or a needle valve in an
emergency...
That's true of the brakes (early Jag E-type and Jensen Interceptor)
too...
