My car is an early BN6. I have fitted three HD6s and found that it
will be a trick to clear the steering column as they have a lot more
going on at the bottom than the HS6 used on tricarbs.
The other clearance issue I will have is with the works style header
that I have which interferes with the throttle linkage pivot point on
the side of the footwell.
