SU carb rebuild 444-544

Gratzi. I have another question, maybe you can answer

When I pulled the carbs apart I noticed one of the floats is all plastic. The other is plastic except for a metal clip on the top. The p/n of this float is AUD9202, but I haven't been able to find it (and I even called the guy in NY, Joe, the SU guru)

I figured it was probably important to use the same kind of float in both carbs, to ensure the valve closes in each at the same fuel level. I tried to find the one with the metal clip, if for no other reason than it seemed more elegant design--the body of the float is exactly perpendicular to the valve when it closes the valve. The plastic one is cocked at about a 30 degree angle when it's closed.

Is there a difference?
