Does BCF keep a registry of vendors that members have used - e.g., SU Carb restorers?

Is that the one in the UK? Many here swear by Joe Curto http://joecurto.com/

Toronto? or Vancouver? (googled it and it seems like Vancouver) we do have a guy in Toronto and I can dig out his name if you want - he did mine and I am very happy

The long version:

I've been messin' with LBC's since 1969, first my own, then for friends and later for clients and money. If there wasn't a BMC/Leyland dealer around locally, the source for SU or Stromberg carbs was Joe Curto. For the last couple decades we realized it was more cost effective to just ship the carbs to Joe's for refurb rather than to fuss with taking them apart, ordering parts (from guess where), reaming bodies for shaft sleeves... yadda-yadda.

Grantura_MK1 is silly enuff to still be in the business, :wink: but his advice is both sound and correct. The restoration shop a pal and partner of mine had in Sarasota for decades has now officially been shut down for about five years, but that's still a couple lifetimes of experience to endorse Curto.

'LBC' -Little British Cars!?

Yup. In actuality it's been a LOT of different Eurotrash; From LBC's to Rolls, Alfa to Ferrari. With the odd Mercedes thrown in now-and-again, just to confuse me. :wink:
