stripped thread in carbie.. HELP!

hi all
i have a 92 brumby, ea81 - standard everything ATM.

I had problems using a lot of fuel - solved i think as i put a carbie kit though it and found the boot on the pump assy had split in two places... that explains using 15l/100 while puttin around town!!! not good @$1.69 Lt

unfortunately while either taking apart or putting back together the fuel/air mixture needle striped the thread....... bugger.

nothing in my town to tap n' die such a fine thread pattern.

The solutions i have ATM are
1. to send the whole carbie somewhere for a total overhaul. probably cost more than $400.(incl postage) ....... too expensive!!!
2. find a throttle body or carbie that matches the bolt pattern at the manifold, that hopefully 1 of you guys may be willin to part with for a reasonable $$
(enclosed diagram of throttle body)

OR
3. Has anyone had this problem before and had an onsite fix or cheaper option?

Thanks in advance Paul

Where are you. I have a carb here you can probably have if you're stuck. It was given to me and I don't think I'll have need for it. Trevor in Toowoomba

great pictures, showed me exactly what i wanted.
unfortunately this looks exactly like the carb i picked from the wreckers , ie.the bolt pattern is different to what i want. checking with the local subie dealership spec manual showed that this is an earlier MY carb (pre 88), mine looks to be the post 89 style(emission changes, etc).
main differences being that the bolt pattern is inclusive in the casting (not as per above with the lobe style boltdown points), mine is also shorter span BP in length, between the barrels, also it doesn't include the water passthrough.

thankyou for the effort
