Cheers, good to have another source on hand. Doesn't stock the 1.3 size according to the site, and the pricing is about the same as Allens so I'll put an order in with them.

Ah yeah. I'd need to get myself a file (no problem), but also a vice I think - not quite there yet! Need a decent workbench to bolt it to first

I'm going to take the carb to a place round the corner from work - even if I did have the setup with ez-outs etc, I wouldn't trust myself not to cock it up and knacker the tube the jet sits in as well (or the thread at least).

If I get stuck I'll see if Motocarb can help out.
