WTB - Automatic Choke off standard 1300 carby

Hey guys,
The electrical connector was broken off my Automatic Choke on the carby when I got it. Does anyone have one they would sell to me? Or a replacement carb? I have a 1967 Deluxe 1300

Cheers

Ben

Got a soldering iron? A little imagination?
Go on. Give it a go!
That's why we muck around with this stuff.

plastic doesn't last forever.. lol

should be heaps of these about used/.

12v later ones may be the same size as 6 volt ones??

Thanks eveyone for your thoughts and advice..

as you probably know Its a metal connecter but fastened by what looks like copper studs..I tried doing a solder job but wouldnt stay-I believe you have to braze copper.
Thanks Smithy ill get back to you if i decide to go that path...

Hi
copper is good to solder but
I believe these are most probably brass..

and as its connected to the heater coil You may need a lot of heat??

looks easy to fix but?? apart from grinding off those rivets??

Ok Lee my apologies I stand corrected..
Ill see how i go this weekend or may take a trip over to Vintage Vee Dub again (drove over there to discover they were closed).And then also Classic Vee Dub. Then saw the sign saying they were down in Vic for the show...haha idiot-should have called before driving all over Sydney in traffic!
At least i know where they are now
