Anyone know where to buy Grose Jets? They are the ones that are a replacement for standard Needle and Seat combo's in the Carby, instead it uses two high tolerance steel balls pushing up against a conical seat to do the sealing. I remember a liftime ago buying some of a guy who worked somewhere in Geelong I think and fittin the Grosejet to my V6 Capri, it stopped the issues I was having with a Weber carby (I think I had a weber on, or it was a 289 Ford carby) always having the needle nad seat leak and stuff up the running and mileage of my car.... I would really appreciate any leads anyone has...

Basically Grose went broke because he started using Chinese crap bearings and the seat leaked, he got a bad name and people stopped buying them. The patent eventually expired so a mob called Moss Motors started making them.

Bit of a story.
