With a product like this, there is always room for improvement. Well, I hope you will appreciate this new version of the screws.
Center shaft has been emptied out, including thumb held portion, making the new screws lighter. There is also a small notch that was added to help count number of turns in or out.

For those who already have the older style screws, and wish to have them modified, send me a PM, and, we can make arrangements.
Also, sorry for those of you who have not purchased any before, but, with new shipping costs as of January 1st, I've upped the price by 5$.
Yes, I'm an ungrateful bastard...

How much then is the new price, as I may opt for a pair to try in my spare set of carbs?

Received my set today. What works of art these are, seems a shame to hide them in the deep recesses of the Hawk. Thanks, JF, for doing these so that we can easily set the fuel adjustment now.

I bought one of these for both extra lighting as well as the heat it kicks out. Then I point it at the ceiling, so I get softer diffused light instead of going blind every time I glance that direction.

Demand is up again, and would like to see who is interested before I make another run. Don't want to make to many for nothing, and, don't want to be short.
If you've already shown interest, I will PM you just to validate your order. If not, shoot me a PM, and I will add you to my list. Will probably be another week or two before I have a chance to make them, so, you have time.
Thanks to everyone...

OK maybe I'll get a set for my 2nd set of carbs (BTW, I need a 3rd set of carbs as at 90,000 miles I've just about worn out slides and needles in the 2 sets I have).
Can you post photos and basic dimensions of the current units; i.e., length they extend from the bottom of the carbs at 2-1/2 +/- turns out and thumb screw head thickness and diameter? Also, are they brass or aluminum and about how much do they weight?
Thx

My question to you Skok, is why bother with me ? In your line of work I'm more then sure you have access to the machinery to produce these yourself, why not make your own ? You would be able to use the materials you want, the design you want, and, the size, weight, etc. you want.

Length has been calculated before doing them. If not, I would have over 40 to 50 sets to fix to date. As far as material used, it's always been brass, but, can look into aluminum for worrying minds. However, type of aluminum may influence final pricing, and, been trying to keep this as low as possible.

I do not know how or why you think I currently have the means and methods to readily develop and manufacture such items myself. Once upon a time I certainly did, and I still have the knowledge, experience, education and skills (though probably with some corrosion if not a patina on them) to do so but I now have not the time or have I had access to needed equipment for many moons.
