My A14 has the square top hitachi SU carbs and one of the floats has filled with fuel... are these still available anywhere?

I was thinking maybe I could drill a couple holes, drain the fuel and fill it with urethane foam. Has anyone tried fixing these?

you can drain the fuel and solder the leak, they do wear on the top where the linkage sits..
you have to use a minimal amount of solder so as to not make them too heavy..

Contact Ztherapy in Salem, OR. He has everything you need for SU's.

good advice to go lightly on the solder dundee. I did the same on my old A14 and its fairly simple to do. I only drilled one small hole, let it sit in the sun for a day or two then lightly soldered.

Through extensive googling, I found this site: http://www.sportsimports.ca/

They do very nice roadster restorations, and have all the parts I need for my carbs and they are local to me. Here's the floats: http://homepage.mac.com/sportsimports ... Carb/SUCarb/1600112K.html The floats are totally affordable too.

I considered soldering my floats, but there a several super tiny cracks running lengthwise on the cylindrical surface of the float.
