<DIV>....also as an impecunious student back in the '70s with an MG TD I bought
oversize spindles. I can't remember now if these went in but were tight, or if I
drilled the carb body to just under the shaft size. Any way I 'fitted' them by
lapping them with something like Brasso with the spindle in an electric
drill.</DIV>

<DIV>With adequate resources it's clear that addressing both the shaft and
bushing would be the optimum solution. However as an impoverished student over
50 years ago I recall changing out the throttle shafts on my Sprite, at minimal
cost, convincing myself that this made a difference! Joe Curto wants around $500
to rebuild a pair of SUs. Now as a retiree I have more resources but still need
to manage how much money I spend on my hobby.</DIV>

<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>If the wear is limited, maybe shaft replacement only
might be cost effective?<BR>_____________________

on my 100 Le Mans and the 5/16" throttle shafts are loose. I would
like to go ream out the bodies and go to the oversized .320" throttle
shafts. Moss wants $270.00 for the reaming tool and I do not
anticipate I will need to do this job again during my lifetime. Does
anyone have one of these they would be willing to loan or rent?</DIV>
