Stupid problem holding up my Z1

was doing the carbs on my 74 Z1 and found a problem that was causing a popping sound in my carbs. it seems someone before i got it had done some fine carb work:S
I found that 2 of the spray bars that the main jets screw into were warped fromeither trying to hammer out the needle jets or tightening the spraybars in to far or something. I've tried to find the parts online without success. don't know what to do now. :(

so any ideas? any good part people to get these from?

need the spraybars and needle jets...

tried Z1E, and several others, sudco, mikuni site, ???

forgot to mention these are 28mm with the 2 bolts on the top cap and theenricher tube close to the bowl screw...old style....thanx!!!

The main jet holder tube is Kaw P/N 16047-002 or 16047-003. Don't believe they are available anymore. wiredgeorge Motorcycle Carburetors doesn't sell parts to non-customers; all our parts are used for rebuild or refurbished carb sales. We are not set up to sell used parts to individuals. You can try Z1Enterprises.com. You must have seen the note on our homepage mentioning we don't sell parts and suggesting Z1E before sending us the note yesterday. Sorry we can't be of more help... I suspect you will end up doing what we do for obsolete spare parts... buying spare sets.

yeah, checked Z1E first and nothing there on that part. yeah, I saw the note, but thought ....well, maybe?won a set of carbs on ebay for 9.99 + 20.00 shipping. but they arent the same model carbs...maybe I can rebuild those. found a set exactly like mine on there, but they are 150....little higher than I was thinking of going for just those parts.
