Hello all,I am working on a 1968 SPL311. I literally rescued it from a barn 2 months ago where it had been for 15 yrs. I am at the point where I want to rebuild the carbs.Does anyone know
of a good source for carb parts? specifically I am looking for new throttle shafts,plates,and bushings.
Any help would be much appreciated,thanks

I don't think you will have any luck with the shaft bushings short of sending out your carbs to ztherapy for overhaul.

Bushings are a machine shop job. Some of the British SU carbs have bushings that knock out and in but ours are a bit more work. As mentioned, Ztherapy can do it is as can I.

+1 on Z Therapy.
They are probably backlogged a bit for service (like throttle body rebuilding) but they can get you parts pretty quickly.
They also have a pretty good description of different models on their web site.
