Peter,
In the Haynes "SU Carburettors" worshop manual, needles are described in
appendix 2 by 16, or 13, or 11, or... several points, so it seems there is not a
fixed distance between the points, nor a fixed needle lenght (depends of the
needle type).
The needle is just divided in 16 equal parts.

Am I wrong ?
