This is kinda stupid.. I've been pulling and mounting my carbs so much lately due to a cold cylinder that I finally managed to brake the threads in two carbs at the same time, while tightening down my float bowls. Three screws in total on two different bowls tore the seats in the carbs. Pictures below:

I can't be the first one to do this, but I only know of a quick fix on the upper right hole. (I can get a longer screw for that one and put a nut on the other side.)
The tricky part is the other two. Is there enough casing to drill and tap for bigger screws or is there a better fix to this? Or am I down to get new carbs? That would really suck..
Thanks, Stabler.
