I'm working thru my Rochester 2-bbl restoration and had to take the choke plate
and
shaft out. It is held in with 2 small brass screws, staked in place, and of
course I
damaged one getting it out.
I was surprised to find that none of the parts places in town carry these, and
the
rebuild kit that I got from one of the old truck mail order vendors doesn't
include them.
Where can I get these small brass screws?
Most small screws general use screws that I might find at a hardware store would
probably be too soft.
I don't really have a tool to restake these in place; is there anything else I
can do to
hold them in? Is there a Loctite that will do the job? The last thing I want
is to
have one vibrate loose and head down the engine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Noakes
