    Speed nuts? The original cork float uses the two 120813 brass lock clips to hold it in proper position. The clips snap into small grooves on the needle to hold the float in position. When using the Merc floats, I like to drill them slightly smaller size than the needle so they are a snug fit on the needle. This way they can be adjusted up or down as required without slipping on the needle. Replacing the lower lock clip probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to as it would help to prevent the float from going too far down on the needle.
