I'm surprised you haven't got the parts book, but I suppose they're rarer
than rocking horse droppings over there! The parts catalogue actually
gives full details of two versions of the kit, the first one is the one
described in the owners repair manual and also in a separate booklet that
gives installation instructions. It uses H2 carbs and an inlet manifold
similar to the 948TC but presumably bigger bore. The second version uses
HS2 carbs and the spitfire mk1 inlet manifold.
If you want a copy maybe I could try to scan it, or maybe send it snail
mail via Scotland again.

It's surprising that they bothered to update it, if it had never been
made available, although I can't say that I have ever seen a car with the
genuine conversion kit.
Phil,
I'll snail mail the stuff I've photocopied to you at QMC, as it's
probably a bit much fax. I've included the installation instructions, and
I've thrown in some info on the disc brake conversion kit.
