Douglas, Try the web site www.rdent.com. That is a Lotus outfit just north
of Philadelphia; Ray P. (a very nice guy & quite responsive) sells the
floats for about $8.00 plus $4.00 shipping. [I tried fixing mine a while
ago, but wasn't too successful, so I ordered two (1 for a spare).] If all
else fails, let me know & I'll send you my spare; it is barrel-shaped &
about the size of 35mm film cartridge.
