Paul, I think you might be a little confused about the term "Grose Jet".
That is a brand name for a specific type of redesign of the float valve;
they aren't all called "grose jets".

Yup, not the right valve. Don't use that one.

I'm not entirely sure what that line means, but it might be that they are
talking about the different versions of original SU lids. There were at
least two different versions used on the TR3, one with push-on fuel fittings
and one with banjo fittings. I think early TR2 might have been different as
well.

Those are the only real "Grose Jets".

I just left mine rusty. Knock off any loose stuff, so it can't fall into
the fuel, but a little surface rust won't hurt anything.
