Hey Mate,
 
Idealy they'd all be the same springs.  You should be able to get some new ones somewhere pretty cheap I'd say.
 
If you plan on getting the car dyno'd (and I stress you should) then I'd get the dude to drill them for you as this way you will have it sorted out perfect rather than guessing as I did.  It will still run with standard jets to get you to the tuners.
 
Are the needles adjustable?  If so put them on the middle setting to get you going.
 
I eneded up ordering a Bogg Bros Manifold as I wanted one without the vacuum and coolant takeoffs.  Here's a couple of pic of their work.  Pretty sexy!
 
Cheers
 
Matt

Looks good as Matt, how much did it cost you delivered?
And skipping the vacuum, how are you doing the brake booster?
 
Cheers,

About $375 delivered.
 
I am using the M/C from a Datsun 120Y so no booster needed.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

New Bogg Bros manifold turned up today.  It is a very nice bit of kit indeed.
 
The manifold has been machined to fit the orginal R1 mounting rubbers thus ensuring the carbs never fall off.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

Keen to see if pic works : Boggs bros manifold turned up today, what a top lookin bit of kit.. Anyways I still need to drill out main jets but everything else should be sweet... 
Matt75: this will probably all be happening in the next couple of weekends, I have a throttle cable, choke cable, I'll drill jets to 1.6mm, going to initially try the mechanical fuel pump with a regulator, failing that use the one I bought off you, slap it on and go for gold... Do you have any other advice for getting these running well enough for driving around town before dynoing?

That looks familiar! ;-)
 
Don't use the standard fuel pump, just use the electric one.  It'll save a lot of headaches.  Mount it near the tank as they push better then they pull.
 
What you have said is all fine back the main mixture screw out 2.5 turns and you should be good.  Be careful not to wind them in too tight as they will break off inside the carb.
 
Good luck.  let me know if you have any more questions.
 
Cheers
 
Matt

Installed :D
Heres a video of the second startup after I connected the fuel properly...

Matt75, only problem I'm having is with the throttle cable, once installed the spring action doesnt seem to be pulling the carbs back to idle easily... Any ideas? I've packed up for the day, hopefully have her out for a drive tomorrow...\

Cheers,

Rob

Hey Mate,
 
Looks great and sounds pretty good too.  You'll need to fit a return spring on the carbs and on the pedal too for the best results.
 
I used a spring on the carbs where the accelerator cable attaches.
 
Mechanical or electric fuel pump?
 
Try to get them tuned ASAP as if they aren't balanced you may run the risk of running too hot and doing damage.
 
Great stuff.
 
Matt

The carbs sound tops, rev like nuts, only had a backfire once when hitting full throttle returning to idle..
I'll look into using a spring tomorrow.
Using the electric pump from the CBR 900 and seems to be working great, no overflow and ticks along nicely...
I've got a gunson colortune on the way so that should at least tell me basic mixtures on each cylinder and prevent damage till I get a proper dyno.
 
Cheers!

Rob

The bike pumps work great.

I thought of getting a colour tune. Be keen to hear how you go.

Cheers

Matt

Will do, Just took the car for a drive and holy crap what a difference... 
I did pull up after a short run around the block and saw the clear pipe at the back of the carbies which I think is a fuel breather has dripped fuel in the bay, any ideas?

I should note that I have fuel return hooked up, maybe I should remove this?

For anyone following the thread: If you connect up the fuel return to what looks like brass fuel return nozzle at the front of the carbies, simply goes through to the back to another brass nozzle and your return fuel will go up though the tank under heavy braking and come out there..
