Early Carb/Float Bowl - Brass Drain Elbows Available

All,
Unfortunately this little 5 year experiment has ended. With labor costs so high these days, getting any of these elbows machined is impossible ($$$) at the scale Im working with. Its without question that injection molding is beyond my budget and I do NOT believe that 3D printed items are up to the needs we all would expect from parts that flow the fuels we are accustomed to using.

Thx. Paul

Guys, I have a lot of test, pre-production, samples, and "mess-up" fuel drain elbows from all of this work. If anyone wants all of this stuff, I'll let it all go for $50 plus a few bucks for lower 48 shipping.
Thx. Paul.

All,

I recently had a copy of the always broken press-in drain elbows made for a restoration Im doing for a friend. My local job-shop machinist made them out of brass. We made a few extras for now, and I will sell them to anyone who needs a pair. Im using them on the SOLEX carb bowls with the 1/8th in. pressfit hole.

They are made here in the USA, and are "pre-production", meaning that the ends are correctly sized but some of the bodies may be taller or shorter than each other a bit as we have not dialed in the optimal lengths and widths of the parts yet. I will bag up pairs and sell them for $35 if anyone wants them, and will update when we have more, standardized runs made. If there is sufficient interest.

Thanks. Mez.

Where can I get a pair of these. I have 71 xsb1 and both my interconnect elbows are broke. Looking for replacements

I REMOVE straight nipples out of of other xs carbs and install, press fit, with a little jb weld for sealing, not holding.. the existing holes your carbs will need to be drilled out a few thousands under the size of the nipples.. I don't have any nipples left
