Z1000 float chamber issue

Hi guys
I have just noticed on No. 4 carb,one of the overflow tubes has cracked inside the chamber where it enters the casting, are these tubes available from anywhere or is it a new chamber required, unfortunately it is off a set of pumper carbs so is slightly different

Cheers
Gavin

What he said, if they're brass they should solder.

Cheers Keith & Garry,
It was cracked just below the point it enters the aluminium body, had a couple of tries with no success then decided the open the crack up a little and put lots of solder in, then drilled the tube clear of solder,
Jobs a good un it doesn’t leak.
