Righto, going to venture out to the shed in a bit for a fiddle in a bit so I'll have a go and report back.
Cheers Bryan.

See if the flat part of that pin is separate from the bracket, to me that looks to be part of the pin, in which case you can just lever under the flat part and get the pin out.

Yes please that would be really helpful Ken, cheers. I'll pm you my address mate.

Bit of an update,
Had rge carbs fully apart and cleaned all the way through with teh bodies off to my pal with the vapour blaster in Yeoville and when theyre done they should have a nice clear ceracote to them and looking like new with a bit of luck. I stared teh unenviable task of cleaning up the caps and bowls wich were in a right state but came up fairly well for the first go. Ive not actually seen them in daylight yet but they looked half OK for a start off.
Julie kindly found me a set of used springs for the bowls so thats taken care of now and they're ready for bobbing together once I scoot down and collect my bag of 'shiny' on Saturday form the blasters.

So on this one I'm going to have the side panels on it so asking for advice from anyone who's bought an after-market set off fleabay. Are they any good and was there a consensus on where was best to get them from, eg a particular seller etc.
Any advice gratefully received and absorbed.
Laverdaroo:
Sorry forgot to spell check that lot :o
Nurse Julie:
We get all our side panels from Kaz at LPM. They are excellent quality and a lot stronger than the OEM ones.
