I my TR3, I have used a long manifold (TR4) with H6 carbs (long) and
with HS6 carbs(short) and have had no problem with linkage fitting our
fender clearance. I did have a problem making the HS6's work since
the were modified (don't do it). To run air cleaner, though, I cut
and boxed out the inner fender. Joe(B)
