That's cheap, they take a lot longer than 95p to make.

I did manage to locate some similar screws but non with a pallister head.

The main jet is marked 40, 45 or 50 & I can't remember what the other is, are you reading them upside down?

40 = 25:1
45 = 10:1
50 = 10:1 perhaps cold climate.

Starting to think about putting everything back together. Driveshaft is in really good condition but does it need a finish ?

You could paint it Terry or smother it in waterproof grease! Either works!

I have fitted new nipples to all the gearboxes I have rebuilt so far. You can then put SAE140 in a cheap new grease gun and jobs a good 'un.

I have some nipples if you want a few. There also plenty on the bay. BSP thread,
