Default Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket

Has anyone attempted to take a 10 mm deep well socket and waller it out some to fit? You can possibly use a small triangular file and a dremel tool.

Or dress down the nut portion on the soft GAV to fit a 10 mm with a fingernail file?

Is a 11 mm deep well socket too sloppy to do the job even if some shim stock was added?

I have also seen swap meet carbs that the GAV was hacksawed flush to the bod for some unknown reason. An Easyout tool can be inserted to remove the remainder of the GAV still in the body. Naturally it is then replaced with a “new” replacement GAV.

Luckily I have never needed this 13/32 socket as I have been able to remove the Zenith GAVs in the past with heat and a tiny crescent adjustable wrench and / or needle nosed small vice-grips.
