all the late eurpean cars with twin carbs - hs4's used a calbe linkage.
the cable pulled a bellcrank that lifted an arm on the linkage rod
between the carbs.this could esily be fitted to the hs2 carbs as well.
we stock and sell any of the euro/brit twin carb sets so am very
familiar with the linkage. ted
