Dennis,

There is someone up around the Sunny Coast (Qld). Give Ho a PM as I think he know the bloke

Hi Dennis,
Is there enough meat in the carby body to mill out the spindle hole and fit a larger bearing surface bush perhaps of a more suited metal (brass or a heat/fuel resistant nylon?), or at least a bushing that can be replaced easily?

G'day All, Many thanks for the responses, even though I do have a lathe and mill/drill, I damaged my mill/drill some 12 months ago haven't got around to looking at it as yet. I understand the principals of how to but without my mill/drill it doesn't appear as though I'm going to be able to do much about it, I will send Uncle a pm.
I did source N.O.S. carburettors in the UK but at 325 Pounds = $517.00 +PP cheers Dennis
ps I need possibly 4 carburettors

G'day Dennis,
Try Wilson's carburettors in Vic.

Cheers Charlie

Dennis, Dual Fuel at Caboolture rebuild them and that is probably who Ho will recommend. That's who did mine for the S1.
