Carb

Can anyone recommend a carb specialist as I think mine could do with a complete strip down and service.

Whereabouts are you?
What do you think is the problem with yours?
Depending on your abilities of course, there isn't anything particularly difficult in doing it yourself!

Sorry Anthony - just read your near identical question in the topic 'Carb Service' where you gave your location....not that I can help you any further knowing that, sorry...
With more info about the actual fault with your carbs, others may be able to offer some help or further advice?

Thanks for your help, I need to replace the rubber fuel lines as they’re beginning to crack, can you advise me as to the best quality I should use?

Just one more question!!, is there a service kit for Stromberg CD,s ?

Pps!, is it advisable to do away with the (seemingly) restrictive air filter box and breather pipes in and use individual air filters bolted directly to the carbs ?, if so which ones are the best?, Moss list K&N filters but say they are 3 and a quarter inches deep and I can’t see them having enough room on the front carb. Pancake types would be ok

There are quite a few options - Chris Witor may do them, although I haven't seen them listed on his website, but others include....

If you want to keep the fuel hoses looking original, then most motor factors will sell the black reinforced rubber fuel hose that is resistant to unleaded fuel with ethanol. The reinforced type are less likely to crack or kink. I think you will need 1/4" (6mm) internal bore.

Personally, I have kept the original air filter box with the original style filters on all mine, mainly because I like my cars to look original as intended, and the K&N type just don't look right imho. I've also never been a fan of the 'oiled' type of filters, as they attract dirt, and I think any 'breathing' gains would be marginal, with no noticeable difference in performance. I think they also would create more noise under wide open throttle. As you say, the limited room between the carbs and the suspension turret would reduce any other options. I'd stick with the original personally, but I'm a purist! Depends on how original you want to keep your car, but from your suggested options, I guess this isn't a factor.
