Re: [T3] angle of the dangle

[Todd Daley <todd@datacom.ca>]

Stock carbs do have a bushing but it is very narrow....  about 1/8" it also has
some sort of nylon sleeve in there also, but it doesn't do much, the replacement
bushing are much wider about 1/4 -1/2 inch.......

I have rebushed carbs  (a set of type 3 carbs, and a set of late bus dual
carbs....) it is not that difficult to do, you need the proper drill bit size
for the outer diameter of the bushing, the bushings themselves, a bushing driver
( to insert the bushing), and a reamer to size the whole for the throttle
shaft... the tricky part is to set it up in the drill press so that the bushings
on both sides are in perfect aligö89....
