Section N in the workshop manual I have lists data for the single HS6 carb on an SC car, but nothing for the HD8s on an early TC. I can google it up for other cars that also run HD8s, but I thought I would ask here to confirm what measurement I should be using. Also, I noticed that the fuel bowls have no overflows or vents. Does that mean that a bad needle valve or Grose jet will result in fuel being pumped into the intake? Or have I missed something? Many thanks, Tom -----

My recollection is 7/16th inch. I would suggest upgrading to plastic floats from British parts NW or from Burlen fuel systems. I am away from home right now, so I cannot check the book.

A bad float or needle results I'm fuel pissing out the top, and landing on the exhaust  exhaust manifold. You will here pst, PST, PST once you stop. And the lovely smell of petrol!
