Default 2GC idle orifice tubes I need some

I'm having to change the tune on my center carb. I'd like to buy some idle orifice tubes for Rochester 2bbls. Can I buy these or do I need to pull them from existing carbs? Not knowing what size will suite the tune I will need a couple of sets to experiment with. Anybody got any booster assemblies they want to sell? The orifice hole needs to be .035 and smaller. Thanks.

As far as I know, There is no reproduction or NOS replacement tubes. Most tuners will obtain "Parts Carbs" and use the venturi clusters and change the orffice sizes with small drills. That way you don't destroy your original cluster.

Each venturi cluster has different size air bleed holes. I pull the tubes out and resize to what I want. Then install back in to the cluster that came with the carb. Easier that way. Guess I'll look for some more carbs or just venturi clusters. Wasn't sure if they could be bought separate now a days.
