I used something readily available down undah which is the 70 series OE uni. The larger end of the uni is the correct diameter for the 40 shaft and smaller end correct for the 80 shaft (I believe). They used to be $20 apiece but these days they’re around $80 AUD. Amayama should stock them as well.

That's crazy you have a RHD 45V in the States! I think he has sourced everything NOS except the floor bezel. Is yours an original part and are you willing to part with it?

My buddy Ray's shop is restoring a 45V for a client and is chasing a few parts. I'll update this with parts requests as he progresses on the build. I believe it's a '67, build month TBA. Today's parts requests are: 1. Original accelerator pedal assembly including pedal, lower hinge bracket and...

Hey why is your carb dirty? You mean the exterior from excessive dust, not the inside right?
