Fuel leak at union fitting on SU carb

[=Enigma=]

I have developed a fuel leak at the union fitting on the float bowl after checking the filter in there. I have torn it down a second time to see if I could clean the mating surfaces and make it work, but it didn't. The surfaces looked OK but it still leaks after re-assembly. I am afrait to tighten it any more for fear of breaking the float bowl cover fitting. I guess I need new aluminum washers. Are they fairly standard or am I going to have a hard time finding them?

If your Nissan dealer can't help you with those, give Z Therapy a call. I'd think they are still available from Nissan.

Thanks nwcubsman, I'll give the stealership a call in the morning. I was hoping to establish a relationship with the parts guys there soon anyway. Hopefully at least one of them knows somehting about the Z.
