Looks an honest van Rob ,
Get a new breather tube (the one thats taped up) from brickwerks ( http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... ory_id=123) ,
Also I think there is some of the advance/retard pipe work missing , goes from the top of the round black thing to the back f the carb .. could be wrong

Mark is referring to the hot air pick up setup. There in non. You will need the pipe that goes from inlet manifold to top of air filter box then to valve at engine hatch "syncro only"
this then goes to the nipple at the top of hot air valve " dome thingi"
You will also need 2 lengths of 50mm pipe to duct the hot air to and from exhaust to bottom of dome thingi.
The valve at engine hatch is used when wading to prevent folding the engine with water.
