Sean, I managed to find my '69 Mk.3 SUs amongst the rubble that passes 
for my barn. And the magic number is:

AUD285.

Again, these are the "emission" carbs, with the jet adjusting nut 
"restricter" to "allow half a turn of adjustment," according to a Leyland 
manual excerpt reprinted in issue #63 of _The Vintage Triumph_.

Hope that helps you.
