<< After 5 years of working on TR's ( I am an infant compared to many of
 you), I have decided to treat myself to the luxury of a "store bought"
 complete carburetor rebuild ! Because Joe Surto is a supporter of The
 British Car Journal, I am leaning towards him. Can any of you give me
 any advice from personal experience as to which of the rebuilders I
 should use ? Surto; Apple etc..... >>

Hello Dennis 

Had a pair of ZS carbs rebushed by Apple about a year ago. No problems so far.

However I know someone who had a pair of TR6 carbs completely redone a few
years back by Apple and he said he had to redo a some things and wasn't very
happy with them.
FWIW in my opinion you're best bet is to do all you can yourself, and things
you can't leave to the pro's.
