What type of reed is fitted, if they are boyesen dual layer reeds they don't use stoppers. Any other brand on the standard reed block should require stoppers

V-force reed block doesn't have stoppers

Hello again Tony, I’m away from the garage but I took this picture today. Can you tell what it is from the picture?

Can only tell you that it's not a v-force reed, if it was the cage would be plastic, have no screws & your manifold would have the wings cut off

To tell whether you have boyesen reeds fitted to the standard cage will require a shot from the other side
