Needle and seat valve for carbs

Is there a type or serial number for the needle and seat valves of the bing carbs?
Are they generally available or a specialist item?
The carbs I have are numbered - 1/24/148 and 1/24/147

Thanks for your time.

Yes. And I would get them from Bing.

There are 3 or 4 varieties of 24mm carbs used on /2s, but most of the components are interchangeable. I just converted my carb tops and floats with the "new style" lever type float valves. They're available from most /2 parts providers, but I ordered them from Bing here in the US (Kansas). Their site has pretty good parts breakdown diagrams as well, with part numbers.

Below is the info they sent me. It's only a few weeks old, but you should verify the prices.
