The engine in a late Midget is borrowed from the Triumph Spitfire 1500,
so any carb options for that car should work (although I won't make any
guarantees about how well the manifold fits under the bonnet!).

Popular options include twin 1.5" SUs, using the manifold from a stock
UK Spitfire (UK Spits used twin SUs until the end of production, unlike
US models), and there are a couple of Weber options more familiar to US
Spitifire owners, manifolds are available from various US Triumph
specialists.  Ask a question on a Triumph forum (such as
www.totallytriumph.net) for more advice on Webers.
