  In a word, more or less none.

  The problem you are likely to see is that any Triumph dual SU
manifolds you will find around are for dual HS2s, not dual HS4s
like the Midget should be.

  I have seen a lot of Midget 1500 owners who have their "dual
SU conversion" but more often than not they are the wrong
carbs.

  I think dual HS2s flow more air than a stock ZS, but they
aren't all that they could be.

  As for getting one, just get them from the UK. Any junkyard
there has a few sets, and generally not expensively.
