When I first started restoring tripowers, Steve and Chris had not yet started reproducing this stuff, and I had several of these different fittings reproduced (without the Weatherhead markings). Many I made myself (not really that difficult).
Since I no longer have time to restore carbs, probably should take the time to dig out all this stuff and throw it on ebay.
The female inverted flare fittings were challenging, until I found a retired tool and die maker who made me some special taps.
Again, anyone with a hobby lathe and hobby milling machine can make this stuff. To quote an old cliche " it ain't rocket science".
Lots easier today than it once was, thanks to the efforts of guys like Steve and Chris.
Jon.
