TR2/3/3A Replacing worn carburetor shafts......

[karls59tr]

If I stripped the carbs down to just the basic body and supplied new shafts and bushes or oversize shafts and took them to a machine shop what would the cost be approx?

The cost would likely be your carburettors. Look up Curto's chaannel on YouTube - one episode he rebushes a carburettor. There are so many considerations aside from the exact diameter to drill and what size to ream, including the depth. He uses bespoke cutters. A machine shop will likely drill fully through into the throat of the carb, instinctively. This leaves a gap right at the throttle plate and a useless carb as a result, for example.

+1. This cannot be done by a hand drill. You need at least a drill press, and must be proficient in its use.
