Yup, they look very Hilborn to me. The linkage and casting color speaks to me. Of course, the linkage could have been brought into the picture at a later date, but for now I'll say Hilborn.

A couple of things I noticed that were different from the other sets I have had:

The linkage arms that clamp on the throttle shafts are brass.. All the other setups I have had were aluminum.

The other setups both had mounting provisions for the fuel block, this set has none.

Here are the other two sets that I sold on here:

Emailed Hilborn today and they said that these are not Hilborn. One of thier shop guys knew the person who made them and forgot who he was. He did say that the guy had passed on though.

Guess the mystery continues..
