I would advise getting a converted manifold rather than an adapter
theres a guy on difflock called "rockwatt" who does them. there's also Rhino Ray in Brighton who does them

i have a converted manifold off a vit on my 1.3 engine at the moment but puttin the 1.6 engine back in as the 1.3 is just not enough for the 31's on the road along with a new 5 speed box but just dont know what transfer to use as i have a few of each 410's and 413's what do you guys think will be best?

I'd say 410... if you have a prop handbrake on the t-box, you could then convert to rear disc brakes
Either that or send them off and get a rocklobster made for you

a 410 for now and send a 413 and 410 to Rockwatt for a rocklobster! trust me you'll wonder why you never did it sooner!
if your swapping the SU and inlet from the 1.3 to the 1.6 all you need to do is swap the needle and spring in the SU
you want a BFM needle and a Red or Yellow spring If i remember correctly

I find the yellow spring works best for my 1600, red for the 1300

i only have a 1 1/2 inch carb not a 1 3/4 so if anyone has one of them they want to sell it will be great and where is best to get springs and bits from?
