I really don't know the answer whether the English 175CD kits will work. I have had Triumphs and tried to rebuild those carbs, so I am somewhat familiar with them. I don't know very much about the German version, except for seeing a few cars in junkyards with them, and they look somewhat different, although the general principal is the same. My guess is that they are different enough for the kits not to interchange, but that's just a guess. The English version is inch based, and the German is most likely metric, for starters.
