Its easy, just buy her a new sewing machine but more importantly, build her a new 400 from a knachered old barn find ;D ;D

Ok, so getting there with the carbs and although I thought there might be some bits to plate, I didn’t expect in excess of 40!!
I’ve been through the lot and anything not quite up to scratch is getting plated.
One thing I did notice on the strip abs forgot about until now is that the 90 degree vent on carb body three is completely missing and so is the little spring on the butterfly shaft. (Shown)
HUGE long shot but anyone got a knackered Number 3 body they want rid of? I presume these are unobtainable as shown in the fiche so looking for solutions please if anyone can come up with anything?
Cheers all

Is that right Ken, phew! I'm so meticulous and simply couldnt see it and thought it wasnt there from a 'previous fiddler' as the needles had been moved up a notch and the usual screw murdering inside. Everything gets placed in pots as it comes apart and I NEVER lose anything. A bit dissapointed up until you just told me that theres only three! Thats great news, cheers mate. :o :o :) :)
Never thought about aquarium fittings thats particularly cunning of you and I'm going straight to the 'Drawer of Great Dissapointment' in the kitchen to a have a look. I had some chromed ones for a koi set up lurking about and might still have a couple somewhere. Wicked idea mate. :) :) :) :) :)

Those carbs are coming on a treat Roo.
You must be younger than me to have two builds on the go!
There are lots of aquarium fittings on e-bay with some choice in diameters as well.
