By all means Ken but quite often they require factory matched parts as in post. Chinese ones can be tricky and of dubious safety concerns.
Oddjob:
May be a while before I can get to it. It's above the door in my garage and my mobility these days leaves something to be desired. As soon as I can get to it and remove the PCB I'll contact you. Thanks mate. I'm kinda low ATM and little gestures like yours mean so much when you feel the worlds against you.
AshimotoK0:
Always here for you Ken ..you know that mate. Just tell me the make if you know it without venturing outside of course.

Things are warming up so been able to spend a bit of time in the garage just catching up on a few odd jobs.
First one was to prep a handful of button socket caps ready for refitting the choke flaps. Just drilled the ends M2 so that they can be expanded with a center punch so they can't escape if they come loose. The primary hold down will be loctite, this gives a bit of extra security and they can be unscrewed if they ever need to come out again.

Second job was to make the brass post that the choke lever rod attaches to. The original was removed some years ago because the hole was quite worn and there was a lot of free play. Secondly trying to replate something that allows chemicals to get trapped us just asking for trouble later on.

I used M6 X 0.75 thread and made it so the thread bottoms out just before it gets too tight in the lever. On final assembly the threads can be staked together with a blob of loctite for good measure
