Find a wrecker and buy a whole OLD carby! Couldn't be worth much, surely?
It's possible that this bit might come in a needle-and-seat kit, not sure. Long time since I pulled apart one of those carbies.

POD is right, Its a needle and seat that you need.. its not a ball but a small square brass rod with a rounded end (the needle) that touches the float....

I have twin carb 186 on my old holden and have just rebuilt the carbies.
You can have my old needle and seat which is in good nick if you can't get a new one.. (should be pretty easy to get a new ones though)
