MG MGA - Viton tip needle valve

Has anyone used the Viton tip needle valve supplied by Moss?

Thanks!

I had grose jets fitted in my carbs, but I thought I should try the viton tipped needles. After a while I experienced a fuel leak from the carbs. I think only one carb was leaking. I knocked gently on that carb, and the leak stopped. This happened again the second time, so I wasted no time to fit back the grose jets. Although the grose jets do occasionally stick open, but only if the car is not used (or at least the engine is started) for a fairly long time. I strongly believe that the cause of sticking jets/needles is today's bad fuel.
