While the above would work, for the 1500 you probably should
get the real carb set for the 1500, which is dual HS4s on
a larger manifold. (compared to dual HS2s on a smaller manifold)
The carbs are not hard to get, use the internet to find
a UK junkyard.
Consider you are probably seeking more performance, this
is the only way to go.
