> What a life eh, rebuilding carbs on Christmas eve?
Sounds better than replacing a radiator, which is what I've been working on.
Gave up after making two stupid mistakes with the lathe, trying to recreate
a piece for my Stag's cooling system that has rotted away. Fortunately
didn't do any serious damage to either me or the lathe.

Shouldn't make any difference. And, since it's almost impossible to judge
wear inside the jet bore, I would definitely use the new ones.

I had to double-check that you were talking about SU and not ZS carbs ...
don't know that they're 'famous', but I assume you're talking about the
"high-tech" jet seals supplied by Moss. They actually go in both places,
two per carb, one above that spring and the other below it, in place of the
original cork rings. However there are some small brass rings that go
between the O-rings and the spring. New ones should have been supplied with
your kit, but you can reuse the old ones.
