I asked Jeff if he'd like to respond to Rich's post about the shaft bushing.
Below is his answer.

I do mill out and rebush SU carb bodies or I will install oversize throttle
shafts. Either way the throttle shaft to carb body clearance is within
factory new specifications.
On the ZS carbs I press out the throttle shaft bushings & install new
bushings along with new throttle shafts.
On another note I would like to add that the Micro-polishing process also
refinishes the air piston & suction chamber slides.

I believe the "micropolish" technique this guy uses is an
immersion/agitation in graded compounds. It makes the aluminum alloy look
nice. I do not know if he drills out the old worn out cast-in-place shaft
bushings (I am talking about the H series carbs here) and puts in new shaft
bushings, this is the most important part of the rebuild IMHO. It is the
hardest to do and requires specialized tools. I have been in Joe Curto's
shop and have seen his work and bought tools from him and he has done first
rate work for me. I suggest you ask the paltech guy about the shaft bushings
and how he handles this. If he says he just changes the shafts and does not
drill out the bushes then you should go elsewhere no matter how pretty the
carbs look.
