Wondering if anyone has any ideas - Ive tried a few plumbers even ha ha, such is the desperation - I really dont want to run a fuel block and hoses - rather this style a lot tidier - hell it doesnt even need a return on this model Zephyr

If you can find an old school fridgie he'll have the skills to make one out of bundy tubing and eazyflow.

Easy done in fridge grade copper tube , the brackets hardest bit . . If you can draw plan of them anyone with a press brake could make them .
I made mine out of a length of 3/4 conduit. Brazed three nipples in where ness, blocked the back end off with a cut-down frost plug (for style) brazed an intake nipple into the front, welded on a couple of mounting brackets, and got it chromed.
That way - the tube fills up, then equally distributes to the jugs.
"Too flash"
Com'on zeph, you should have those skills.

Where ya at?
You need an equalizing tube as I explained, otherwise one carby could get more fuel than the others - or one could starve.
Used to have a flash triple carb manifold on my Mk I. Think the name cast into it was Klenig Sydney. (or something like that) Google knows nothing. It was finned alloy and had a water jacket around the outside. Was so disappointed when I bought the Mk 3 engine and it wouldn't fit.
Sold it to a mate, and it was pinched along with the Jolly widened wheels etc. I stumbled onto the pinchers when they pulled up at another mates place in Auckland while I was there, with the wheels on their car! So the cops found it and it finished up hanging on the wall in his workshop. He doesn't know what happened to it after that.

Sounds mint mate!
A friend of mine is making us an alloy fuel log (like a EFI setup) with three fittings to allow for hose to go to carbs - running SU's so you know how tiny the pipe is that delivers fuel - hes going to make the log quite big with a nice fitting up to it, electric pump around 6psi

Electric will make sure of the fuel anyway. I was only running the old Z pump.
You probably know the story about my car anyway, but I put triple side draft Stomberg's on the Mk 3 engine. It went like stink up top, but the low-down torque was crap. After spending a week at Trade School in Auckland and driving around the inner city, I came home for the weekend and stuck the old standard intake on with a twin-choke Weber. Went just as good, had a squirt of gas when needed, so was much more user friendly. Never changed it back, and sold the triple setup with no regrets.
