Wide5 wheel studs, need some
I need 4sets of Wide 5 wheel studs, I've checked with van Pelt and others without luck. I measured best I could and went to Dormans' website but they didn't have anything.
Any suggestions?

Zenith float weight
I'm going thru a zenith and the float looks ok but it is heavy, it weights about 7/8ths of an ounce. Is that normal for these carbs?
