WTB: 2 x float bowls for BST36SS Mikuni carbs

[ACTAngler]

While pulling down and cleaning my carbs, I noticed 2 of the drain screws in the float bowls had been glued/siliconed up but were slightly leaking. Turns out the drain screws had been tightened too tightly and no longer sealing properly (the screw head comes tight on the float bowl before the end of the screw seats and seals).

Anyhow, looking for 2 float bowls (1 x left, 1 x right) and drain screws that don't have this problem. Thanks in advance.

Huh?? The head of the screw against the bowl is what seals isn't it?

[ACTAngler]

no, mine have a tapered end which seats inside the bowl itself.

Nah, off a 1990 GSXR1100, but according to my Haynes, the 750 slingshot ones were the same. I need 1 x left and 1 right (the centre 2 carbs). No pictures of mine, but they are the same as these:

Thanks for the offer, I'll grab them for sure if they are the right ones.
