Actually I think they are HD 6 or 8's. Anyway I would not bother with them and just use std. SU insulating spacers. I run 2 x HD8's on long manifolds on my Bentley special and have never had a problem with vibration. Also I suspect they are prone to failure from the very vibration they are trying to dampen as the weight of the carbs will lead to cracking over time as I'm sure they will not have any additional support.
I think Rover also used them on the 2200 TC with out insulating again with no probs as did RR on the 4.9 S1 type engine.
Maybe the TR engine had a particular issue with vibration?
