So as @Captain Obvious says, when I took apart thee set of worn carbs that I’m modifying (eventually!!) I found that worn “collar” was 9.5mm and the wear on the bush was about 0.4mm. The wear on both ends was 180° with 90° being the most worn but interestingly the wear was 90° offset rotational from one end to the other! The chap in Birmingham (UK) is remaking new shafts. I can only assume Ztherapy do the same. Butterflies don’t really wear appreciably. But I’m happy to be corrected. I’m potentially going to get a buddy to CNC some new stainless steel shafts for me, but they will be “modified for flow versions”, not stock. Happy to measure / share stock dimensions if any good to anyone wishing to CAD them and make some..

Resurrected Classics has the new 3 piece set listed for $350.00. They guarantee their products. I’ve bought 3 sets of hub caps from them and they are “perfect”.

I'm no carb expert, but on the ones I've messed with the wear appeared to be on the shaft. the chrome plating had been worn through, and once that happens, it exposes the (even softer) brass underneath, and things spiral quickly from there. billgtp posted a pic of one of his shafts, and it might be a trick of the camera, but I think I can see the brass color peeking out at both ends. Between the bearings and the marker lines? As for availability of new, I have no idea. Certainly any well tooled machine shop could make them, but at what cost?

I like the spot weld cutters like this or this I do not like this style A little oil helps. Be careful with the bit corners, they are brittle and easily damaged. Constant pressure helps. The carbide or specialty coated ones last a lot longer. My tool of choice for spot welds is a die grinder with one of these That section of the frame is pretty stout. It's thicker than a lot of other areas of the car

McMaster will ship to me, they do it all the time. I just have to be registered as a business. They won’t ship internationally without that check box being ticked. Thanks!

Didn't Madonna wear those?
