Thread: Need source for Solex carb label tags

    Need source for Solex carb label tags

    I thought Stoddard's was making repo tags for carburetors but that appears to be incorrect. I would be grateful if someone could provide a source for the aluminum tags attached to the Solex 40PI carbs like the one below:

    Seems like these would be very easy to fabricate, especially with your skills Paul. But the stamping might be another matter to get dies that are exact matches.

    Partsklassik has them for the PII. Perhaps they have the PI tags too.

    I could get custom stamps made but much easier to "Click & Buy" if available.

    Thanks for the lead! I saw the tags for the 912 fuel pump but not for Solex 40PI carbs. I'll email & ask if they have other tags.

    They certainly list a lot of tags, just do not list the ones you are looking for. I assume they should be able to make them. I wonder if they also can supply blank tags. What is the hole size? I assume it is smaller than 8mm.

    A set of custom metal stamps would be required that match the font, I decline to chase that rabbit. However, I'll contact them to see if they would make a batch since they have the correct font stamps.

    Well, I fabricated tags of the same size as OEM tags but without stamping. I am good with this as a work-around since they look OEM.

    Thanks for the Partsklassik link. I've been looking for tags for my Zenith T-V carbs (needed one), and they have these as well.
