Thanks Rhys,
I promise to not reveal any of your trade secrets (earlier post)!
Do have a question though, do you leave the sheet copper on the plate or just use it to form a "pool" solder and then grind it off? It sounds like you leave it.

Also re: Mike's post; I swaped in throttle plates from Stromberg 175 on a different set of HIFs about 10 years and 70,000 miles ago and haven't experienced negative effects. Actually that set has been the most reliable that I've ever owned. I don't remember having a problem with the stop screws.

Junk yards in Connecticut? No way. There are some old Volvos around, but they are mostly in peoples garages or back yards. There is not a lot of networking amongst pre 70's Volvos around here that I am aware of. I don't think you would even find many 1980's cars of any brand in most junk yards here.
