Northampton motorsport, especially since you're in Northamptonshire
They're not a Porsche specialist so they might get frowned upon by some, but they are carb and engine set-up specialists and they really know what they're doing

Chris at Fenn Lane Motorsport in Nuneaton.
He recently rebuilt the early Solex C40 PAA1 on my 59 Lancia Flaminia for a very reasonable price.
He is however an early Porsche Solex carb specialist and tends to have a bit of waiting list.
Everything was done by post.

I just striped and rebuilt a set of Zenith 40 tin's used M.E.K. to clean, as advised on ddk by someone worked very well cleaned every thing and rebuilt with new gaskets and needle valves. Fitted and engine runs like clockwork!

Re: Carb rebuild recommendation
I used the potion supplied by the US machine supplier which needed diluting to a solution ready to clean with.
Poor results tbh.
Not sure what it was, friend has the machine at the moment.
