Regarding Weber carbs on a GT6, the main problem is not in finding the
carbs, but in finding the correct manifold. TR6 manifolds will fit the
cylinder head, but will position the carbs so that you cannot close the
bonnet. The correct GT6 manifold is a three piece affair; the front piece
locates the front DCOE lower than the rear two so that the bonnet can close.
These manifolds are somewhat rare, as I do not believe that they are still
being produced. You might want to check TR parts houses in the UK.
Stateside, you might want to contact Ted at TS Imported Auto or Scott Harber
at Team Triumph. You also might want to post an inquiry on the triumphs
list.

FIA forms are normally available from the National Headquarters. For the USA
that is ACCUS. In the UK I think it is RAC. However I find it rather unusual
that anyone in the USA would actually require you to do that now. SCCA
sedans
ran under FIA appendix J, Group 2 until the early 70's. You were required to
have the FIA papers in your possession.
If you are just worrying about the Weber carbs; under SCCA Production
Category regulations you could not use them unless listed in PCS. Under FIA
Group 2 and higher, induction was free so ANY car could use the Webers.

Someone on this list can tell you more than I can about finding a set for
your GT6.
