I found today that the float in our GT6's front carb had failed. One of the two "pontoons" is a sinker. I borrowed a float from a parts carb to get going again but want to buy a new float to replace it.
I know there are the (relatively) new "unsinkable" floats for Strombergs. However, doing my research I am finding conflicting information. Some web sites say the replacement floats are for 1970 and later carbs. Spitbits has a float that is supposed to fit "all models". When you look at Victoria British they offer a float for cars made after 1969 but not for earlier cars like mine. The pictures of these modern floats show a different profile than on my early carbs (different pivot features and 2 float valve actuating paddles instead of 1).
I have sent emails to Burlen and to Joe Curto to ask about floats for my carbs but I am curious if any of you know if I can use the unsinkable floats in my early 150CD carbs? I am not opposed to modifying them to get them to work. I need something as I no longer trust the old parts I have at hand.
