where to buy nikki air bleeds?

In process of tuning a sterling carb, and need to find some air bleeds that fits the carb. I know that the emulsion tube ones have been redrilled, but right now i'm trying to find a air bleed for the idle circuit for a 160 jet. where can I get it (I know I can get it in a junk yard, but sa/fbs are getting hard to find around here). I'd also like to find a source so I can get various sizes for tuning purposes... I tried (or rather, a friend) tried the holley jets but they are too tall and prevents the top from going back on the carb...

Thanks,

Alvin

Something about the mikuni jets from a harley work. Don't quote me on that.

I know that it is something harley related, a friend of mine changed his nikki jets with harley jets of some sort for his blowthrough, hopefully that helps.

Thanks Sterling, will do, and jinx4dub, I tried mazdatrix, they only have the main jets which don't have the same pitch as the bleeds.

I bought an entire air bleed tuning kit from Holley for my Sterling. I haven't used 90% of them, and actually gave half the kit to Kentetsu in exchange for a few things he had lying around. It's nice to have extras though. Once the engine gets ported it will probably need a whole new set of jets so they won't be wasted.
