Fuel Evaporation
Mike,
I assume you have been talking to a Jaguar specialist as Bristols even in sunny Australia don't have these problems where air temperatures can reach regularly in summer 35 - 40 degC or more . Remember Bristol Solex don't sit on top of nearly 500kg cast iron, steel & cast alloy like a 2.4 Jag
If you want some new longer screws and used so called insolators I have both . These fit between the carby body & throttle body of the Solex .
I suggest while you have the carbs off the engine , you remove the carburettor adapters which sit between the head and the carbs . Remove the two studs in each and either file or mill the top surface flat . Over the years the upward tension of the studs tend to pull the alloy upwards around the studs and the gaskets won't seal properly. THIS IS IMPORTANT if you ever want the engine to run properly.
