Manifold, heat shield, throttle linkage, and new needles.
Everything but the needles and manifold can be fabricated.
However, if the car is in that shape, the carbs might be
pretty junky as well. You might be better off trying to
source a pair of nice HS4s from a junkyarded B that was
trashed for an accident or other reason than "abuse". They
would be much closer in style and vintage to the original
style twin SU carbs.
