One of the first pages (page 119) I viewed upon opening my newly acquired
Roger Williams TR6 restoration book (available through 6PACK) showed a pair
of SU HS6s with choke cables nicely attached. I ordered the longer choke
cable for the PI'd TR6 from Rimmer Bros and upon arrival, I installed it and
it works beautifully without having to couple the two chokes together and
sync them.
Now to fabricate a rear heat shield with return spring anchors.
I highly recommend Roger's book.
