Can swap to SU HIF 44 but the manifold requires modding (about £125).

The same weber as the 1.3 SJ fits or there is a variety of carbs off late 80s early 90s jap motors that fit.

Subaru justy, daihatsu charade, hyundai pony.

Most reliable and popular seems to be the SU.

Off ebay, quite rare in scrap yards.

It requires either an elbow adaptor or the manifold modifying to fit.
