The Nocks sell them... very cheap.
www.britishcarspecialists.com<http://www.britishcarspecialists.com>.

By the way, I would NOT use the diaphram jets that come with a Moss kit.
They will go bad after about 5,000 miles. I think the Nocks have good
diaphram jets too....

By the way, I cannot reccommend this enough.... never order directly from
Moss, order through a Moss reseller that is a specialist in Healeys... like
the Nocks... Same price, cheaper shipping, and they only sell the good parts
Moss sells, and they have alot of other stuff in stock Moss doesn't sell.
