...link seems to have failed😕. It had two two-into-one manifolds which each then had a carb...ie twin carbs.

There is a company in the States called Murray’s Carbs, they do a twin carb set up with the manifolds.
Think they Use Mikuni VM34 carbs.

I've actually bought grotty clocks just to get the bulb holders. Saw somewhere the other day some site selling the rubber surrounds for the bulb holders but they were only for ND clocks, didn't know they were different from Nippon Seiki clocks. Might have been DS.
