The Mini (original Austin & Morris - not BMW MINI) manifold will fit on
a Spridget 1275, BUT it angles the SU up higher than the correct
Spridget manifold. On the Bugeye the bonnet will hit the cap of the HIF6
and make a cute little dimple in the bonnet. This I know from
experience. I don't know if the bonnet on later Spridgets will have the
same clearance problems.
I can highly recommend the HIF6 for a strong street car. I have the same
setup on my Bugeye.
Just my $0.02.
