You may not need the oversized throttle shafts. The key is the condition of
the bearings. My SUs were shot with a lot of play in the throttle shafts. I
got a complete kit from the Roadster Factory with bearings and standard
throttle shafts.
I had to send them to a guy in Phoenix to actually do the machine work
because I was living in a remote part of Utah at the time. But it may be
possible for a well equiped machine shop in a larger city to press in the
bearings and do a line bore.
The Phoenix guy, Bob Schaller, did a great job. I got his name from the
Roadster Factory. He was a fairly well known LBC enthusiast of the time,
but I believe he passed away a couple of years ago.
