Did all SU’s have the same fittings? There used to be a wrecker here that had shelves full of stuff off old Pommy cars that had SU’s standard, but I don’t think they are around anymore. I remember seeing dozens of old SU carbs off old Rovers, I only noticed as I had a triple SU carb setup on my old HQ Van and recognised the carbs. Might be worth looking to see if there are any older wreckers near to you. There are a couple of specialist Rover wreckers around. All 4x4 in Hunter Valley started as a Landrover wrecker in the 80’s so they may still have old SU’s?

I was just googling this out of interest and came across a bus called recarb in QLD that advertise a fuel spout banjo union, which is not exactly the same as your pic but very similar.  They may be an option.  Good luck. Ron

You should be able to get those type of fittings from a diesel repair type service

There are banjos and overflow tubes on eBay or I would imagine SU Midel would have them.

I believe Gladys, the 1956 model mechanical Sexbot from British Aerospace had nipples like that.

Forget Gladys, you need to talk to Midel in NSW. They have absolutely everything for SU carbs. If they have not got it they will make it, including custom needles etc. Been able to get everything for my HD8 carbs easily.They are part of Fabre Australia
