Included in the price of the rebuild is the replacement of shafts, jets,
metering needles and the plating of the steel and brass hardware in either zinc,
silver, nickel or black zinc depending upon which is appropriate for the
application.
The term “Rebuilding” is now a misnomer; we are actually
remanufacturing/restoring carburetors. The last S.U carb fitted to a US imported
car was the 1974 MGB, which is now over 30 years old; that is a lot of bad
mechanics ago. My restoring service is aimed at correcting all the bad work
having been done over the years. The jobs that we were able to do easily with a
kit 30 years ago are gone, shafts, jets, metering needles have suffered as well
as major components, pistons and domes corroded, dented or damaged, bodies have
had bushes installed incorrectly. All this requires a serviceman with a
knowledge of how they were actually made and how they left the factory.
Triple carb sets cost ˝ again the cost of a pair (i.e. Healey 3000 HS 4 is $
562.50, XKE's are $ 637.50)
THROTTLE SHAFT replacement is available outside of the normal
rebuild. Standard shafts and bushes in H, HD and HS are 115.00 and include
shafts. HS carbs using oversize shafts are 95.00 the pair Bentley, Rolls Royce,

Automatic water choke carbs were problematic when they were new, they did not get better with age. I will R&R the choke unit to the best of my ability BUT they have a life of their own, so if they do not function there is no guarantee on my part. I will try to troubleshoot but if ever possible I try to get a manual choke conversion.
All Prices are in US dollars and Do Not include shipping. There is a minor discount structure for bona fide shops,

KITS
Our brand of kits is BRITISH SUPERIOR they are available for most S.U (pre-war
and post)and Zeniths (side draft) as well as some for Solex and Down Draft
Zeniths, please contact me for prices and applications. Most of our components
are manufactured by us here in USA, and they are the same parts used by me in my
rebuilds. My line of throttle shafts for both S.U and Zenith has been a staple
of the rebuilding scene for over 20 years. I have made the MGA & TR3 rubber
float bowl (auc 1524) in Viton which is resistant to swelling caused by modern
fuel, they are marked either with a V or V7. There is a close attention to
detail regarding fit and performance of my kit components. I can assemble pretty
much any part combination for any SU carb.
METERING NEEDLES
I have in stock over 800 different needle designations, all the common ones as
well as many "specials" for performance tuning, including the elusive Methanol
and H8 designations.
THROTTLE SHAFTS
We are the manufacturer and supplier of all the S.U and Zenith CD & CDSE2 in
standard and +.010 diameters since 1985 and sell the tooling for fitting both
standard and oversize shafts
