Martin Bratbury used to re-sleeve but I heard he'd retired. Not heard if anyone took over the service.

Suggest a better alternative is to buy a new carb (Premier is available) from either Hitchcocks, or Surrey Cycles.
Relatively inexpensive, good for a lifetime (at our age).

Hi All,
Look up "Joe the carb" on facebook
Joe makes oversize slides rather than sleeve the old ones
He makes a lot of parts for early AMAC carbs too
Very good service and good value too

John,
Just checked out his Facebook page and he really does know plenty about his carbs. He will deffo be some business coming his way.
Many thanks for the link.

Another option is to buy an oversized slide from Surrey Cycles. I did this last year and found it to be the perfect solution to 'spitting back and generally sloppy slide issues. If you do this you need to spend a bit of time easing high spots in the body with 1200 emery until the slide is a snug fit. Not as tricky as it sounds and very effective.
