After a deep google its seems its advisable to run a vacuum line between the two carbs and into the back of the inlet manifold ,also need another line from one carb base into the valve cover breather ,so these little bits are in the post as we speak ...I have a small problem with the convertor but that also will be dealt with and when that gets sorted it will be put in place ... So its just a waiting game now which is sometimes painfull . Another thing i have been advised to do is run a fuel regulator which i did not want to do as i wanted a stock look but sometimes you have to bow to superior knowledge ..so i will take the stock fuel line out from the mech pump to the carbs and run a new line into the regulator .Putting the stock line away for the future ....so anyways here is a photo of it all mocked up with the stock fuel line in place ...

You could fit the regulator in place of the T piece and to the untrained eye it would still look stock…

Hi Pete,
Great to see some more progress :thumbright:
Have you checked yet whether your air filters will fit under that stock hood?
Usually, if not always, the bracing on the underside needs cutting to clear the filters on max wedge style inductions :-k :shock: ;)

Eg:
