Carb Float bowl banjo bolt hole repair

[Robert Grunau]

Anybody know where I can get a 7/16 " - 18 tpi BSF thread repair kit Helicoil etc ) to repair a couple of MG TC 3478 carb bodies that have stripped float bowl banjo bolt threads? I'm in Canada so North American supplier preferred ( Canadian even better ). Thanks, Bob Grunau --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Wouldn't a couple new/different carb bodies be easier? Don TC 7993

Bob, Phil Marino does this repair, or used to anyway. He makes up his own stainless steel inserts to replace the threads. My list of his services is several years old now but he lists the inserts at $10 USD each or if you send him the carb body $20 USD each installed. Add shipping/handling costs to that. With your machining abilities though you could probably make them up yourself. BTW- he also does sleeving of the carb throat. Brings back true circular bore from one that has become oval. That is listed at $45 each. I would have thought he would do the throttle shaft bushing too but don't see that on his list. He has no email so: 909-352-4419. Phil had ordered some brake drums from you many years back so you may have his address on file but if not: Phil Marino 16199 Hidden Cove Drive Riverside, California 92503 David Edgar, TC 5108 El Cajon, California

Probably easier, but this body has already been rebushed on the shaft and has new butterfly, shaft and operating arm installed. Anyway, I like to repair things. I have ordered a 7/16 " BSF thread repair kit from Uni-Thread in England, should be here this week. Thanks to all who gave suggestions.
