Early Vitesse 6 (Sports 6) 1600cc engines with the odd semi-downdraft
Solexes also used that expansion tank. Heralds didn't, unless someone
"borrowed" an
early Spitfire engine and radiator to essentially replicate the twin-carb
option.

That too; HS4.

Sorry, not a match...the board goes back. ;-)
Actually, they are HS2 carburetors (the number stands for eighths of an inch
-- plus 1 inch. So a 1.25" carburetor is an HS2 (there were also H2s).
