Ebay, ztherepy, z has composite floats that are good

I don't know if this is the one you need, but it might be.

It should be, as 46mm SU floats dont really come off, and are plastic stock.

does a weber have the same float? if it does, ill take it off my old one and swap it in.

no.

Unless you know how the solder the hole up, you are just going to have to buy one, the sooner you buy it, the sooner you will get it, and I would buy a set, that way when the other one fails, you will have the replacement.
Does anyone you know have a set of SUs they are not using on a shelf somewhere?
Do you have any carb shops around where you live?

I only bought one. I don't have the money for two.
I don't know anyone with any su's and no, no carb shops besides one and me and the owner got on bad terms because of a worker there.

Thanks anyways.

i've never seen other brackets but from what i see, they're not.
and yeah, one side is faced down and the other is normal.

Oh, yea, now I see it. Most of the pics were of the passenger side... Sad because that is still very chromey.

Hmm, or you have 2 driver side brackets...

I dig the black and yellow plates.

You have the coolest car in your crew.

Original California Black plates. Pretty rare. I remember 71Dimers 68 Blue Wagon had Black plates...

I want a set of Blue or yellow for my car...
