I'll have a try on a set of 500 carbs and see how I do.

Thanks, I'll experiment with some felt I have (use for machine bedway wipers) which is quite thick but will assist in it holding together. I can then razor them down...

Fleabie:
I'm in the market for some felt washers for my carb rebuild.

Mine are all pretty perished. I need a full set for both the chokes and the main lifters.

Would anybody want to supply me or know where to get them ?

Thanks
Bill

Ken (formally Oddjob on here) made a few sets. I purchased a set and they are very good quality. He was going to put a few sets on ebay so that would be your first port of call. Failing that Mike Nixon in the US can supply them but they are expensive. His website is here:

You could have made some nice one's out of Mrs K's favourite cardigan after I washed it at the wrong temperature  :)

And her bobble hat too  :-[

Laverdaroo:
Drop him a message I think he can still get them just not reply to them.
