Needles for twin 1 1/8" SUs? - Humps - 07-08-2022

Hi there,
I am assembling my motor which has a new block, new crankshaft (1.5" splash), new rods & pistons, new sports camshaft, lightened flywheel and will have a standard high compression head.
I plan to fit a pair of 1 1/8" SUs and wonder if anybody has a suggestion the the size of needles to be used?
Many thanks,
Keith

My twin 1 1/8" SU's, which came with Cambridge manifolds, are fitted with EK needles.  You can compare needles on the mintylamb website.
