Thank you for the information.
Did you find glass? If so, I would be interested in knowing where.

I think an 1/8" piece of flat glass would be sufficient to seal the carbs that don't have their tin plates anymore. And I think someone like @Land Cruiser Junky would have the talent and the dedication to make them.
Maybe he will chime in.

i'm assuming you're talking glass? i could use one
Yes I’m talking about glass
now to just find someone to repro the tin behind the glass . i need two of those
That looks pretty easy to make
here are the pics of 1 of mine. I'm willing to lend it out, last guy tried and couldn't find anyone to reproduce it.
I have that piece too. Let me check with a guy that I know

Not 100%sure, but pretty sure I've got two carbs that need them.

I too tried to have these reproduced several years ago. I really wanted this to happen. There were several factors that made it cost prohibitive for me.
The tooling that would need to be made to facilitate production was very exspesive, not a huge demand for these by our members, and the blue color coating/etching processes for the background with the Asian lettering on it.
If you can make this happen that would be fantastic. We have some very resourceful members here on Mud, so I'm hopeful. I personally would be in for ten or so depending on price.
Good luck, I hope this can actually happen this time.

I couldn't remember who I sent it to years ago for a reproduction. the pics are the 1 I sent you and then you sent back to me.

Yes Paul, I was very thankful for your help. I really wanted to get these done.
I think when you open the hood on one of these old early cruises and you see that single barrel Aisan carburetor staring at you with that blue plate, it's just cool.
I hope this comes to fruition.

Just chiming into the conversation. I would be interested in reproductions of the tin and glass.
i still need two tins and one glass
I think the blue tins were e-65 or mid 66 and gray was mid 66-67?
I only guess mid 66 because that’s what my keystar carb rebuild kit starts.
