Are the filter-mounting holes the same distance/dimension on
the HS6 and the H6 carbs?

Yes, at least for the TR4A version of HS6. (But some HS6 apparently use 3
filter mounting bolts.) I run HS6 paper element filters on my TR3 with H6
carbs.

However, they don't clear the inner fenders. Even after some massage with a
BFH, the bottom of the front filter is crushed from hitting the fender as
the engine moves around on it's mounts. I also had to re-route the fuel
lines.

My long-term plan is to make up some mounting plates to use TR6-style filter
elements. I found some nice chrome covers from Mr. Gasket that should look
nice. But that's a back-burner project (and at this point, I think my pilot
light has gone out).
