The other issue is, that in bowing the flange, it distorts the orificeA very slim ring spanner that was sawn down.
Gave mine away with the bike when I sold it.
Amals often warp like that mostly due to ham fisted gorillas over tightening the mounting nuts.
Sometimes you can get them flattened out but often not.
You'll probably find the carb flange is bowed, Amals did that anyway! Should it be single carb?
I've got one that looks exactly like that - well I assume that's what it looks like, since it's been boxed up inside the sofit of our house for the last 4 years - I must have put it down whilst marking something up when I replaced the weatherboards, sofits and upvc cladding. Now the only way to get it would be to lift the tiles one by one till I find it, hence it's still there....Yesterday at the Shed, we held a bring and buy, a swop shop and of course people collecting item that have been donated.
This extra activity can un balance some members, so I tried to keep things in balance by still doing repairs and restorations.

Tedious manual stripping finished, half thought about just clear coating, but it would not fit in.

Rattle can acid etch and satin after good prep has come out well and a pretty hard finish.
