I had a single choke weber.
Off golf.
No interest so gave it away.
See Brendan at mk1 do.

Eurocarb and webcon are the 2 main experts in the UK so asking them might help.
I doubt the two cylinder heads are identical so neither will the inlet manifold be. Something about extra water passage may be….
The weber kit used an adaptor to the vw rubber gasket damper mount. Get the adapter to suit the inlet manifold you have. Or have an engineering firm make it in alloy.
The choke sizes may be OK but mains /idle jets will be too large. See the previous companies for the parts.
As it has been decades since fitting these kits I've forgotten and thrown away a lot.
I could ask someone at the mk1 show for pics
or better still wander around there for a car/owner with the conversion.
