My eyes WERE deceiving ME!!
I will try a couple of washers, sounds like a plan.
With it all off it is a good opportunity to give everywhere a good clean up, even the horn! And replace the 1.5 inch long 1/4 UNF set screws holding it on by some rather shorter 5/16 BSF bolts!
Looking at your (?) neatly coiled fuel pipe encourages me to take mine off and copy it! I too have a period fuel filter and have suffered with a bizarre combination of starvation and/ or overflowing at the top of the float chamber...despite expert attention and new needle etc. Car runs well though, I had a good run up from the Cotswolds recently. ..it overflowed when I stopped! Powerful smell of hot vapourising petrol......
Seems to have been a long standing problem as instructions to a previous owner in the 80s said ALWAYS turn off the fuel tap when you stop!
