Apple Hydraulics also does it. The price was reasonable, with new bushings
and shafts. I assume they used my old butterflys, but am not sure.
Although I have a drill press, I didn't want to take the chance of doing it
myself. They did get the angle slightly off on the butterflys and I had to
redrill the shaft for the throttle stop, but that's another story.

Very easy job with the right machinery, which I think you do not have. The
old bushes can be drilled out on a lathe or with a drill press, size 23/64,
install the new bush and then it must be reamed out with a .3120 reamer, now
the finish ream must be a .3130, your shafts should now fit if you have
aligned "BOTH" sides up perfectly and drilled the correct depth, but, just a
reminder, it must be perfect on both sides, or you have 2 "junk" carbs.
Advice, send them to Nissonger's for the 90.00 and that includes the shafts.
