Solex Carb Parts

#1 Post by Steve Nau »

I am trying to rebuild the Solex 32 PB carbs for my 56 Coupe.
Previous owner replaced some of the screws that hold the pump plate on with metal screws.
I am attaching a pic of the correct screw that I need.
It is M4 x 0.7 as near as I can tell and about 1" long.

Anybody know where to find little pieces like this?

Try Carb Rescue. Those look a lot like the screws used on 40PII's to hold the accelerator pump cover on. If that fails, you can make them from M4 hex head screws if you have access to a metal lathe (or an electric drill and a file, if you are persistent enough!).
