Vern, I send my Bugeye stuff to:

It's been 4 years but I sent my carb bodies and Jim rebushed (for the
reason Peter gave) them, and installed the hardware new stock size
shafts for $50. Until the process of rebushing, one went to oversize
shafts and then threw the carb away when they new shafts wore.
Because folks told me I couldn't do it, I toyed with the idea of
rebushing my H1 and H4 carbs, for fun, until I realized the problem of
shaping the bush to match the curve of the side of the intake throat or
getting a reamer that would give me a flat cut and not bore all the way
through. I was too cheap to buy the proper reamer(s). I like Jim a lot
and have never had any problems and he's fun to talk to.

Call Joe and hang on to your hat. If he's got the time he's got a ton
of knowledge and you can learn a lot. I really must stop out there
sometime. He does an excellent job as well.
