Stromberg WWC unobtanium parts, where to find. - 07/09/14 03:06 PM

I have a freshly rebuilt Stromberg WWC card with the three parts for the bowl vent assembly, as shown in the picture, missing.
I have called every Stromberg (and more)carburetor rebuilder I could find on Google and nobody has these parts. I know I could buy a core on ebay or something but even the junk ones, with shipping, is stupid money for just these three parts. Any suggestions I haven't thought of?

As a sidebar: The carb actually works perfectly without the bowl vent assembly. Do I even need the damn thing?? I'm not seeing the logic where the vent is closed at idle and needing it to open at full throttle. Obviously without the assembly and the rubber thingamabobob, the bowl is always vented yet it still idles and accelerates like a smoothly.

Those components can be/are easily machined/fabricated

That was Plan B.
Plan C was to forget about it altogether.

If Benchwick is still open in Youngstown Ohio try them.They had a warehouse of old carbs and that is all they do.I might even have one somewhere in the other garage.Been at least 20 years since Ive seen them though.Rocky
