Which carbs? MGBs used HS4 & HIF. I've no experience with HIFs. In the 'B
the HS4 choke cable was attached with an odd bracket on the front carb.

I have HS4s in my MGA. I made a fitting for the choke cable that fits in a
hole that was already there on the rear carb. The inner cable then attaches
to the rear carb & the connecting link works them both. I thought I had a
photo somewhere but couldn't find it.
