Needle Jet damage 83 GL1100

First some advice.
Don't nock your stuck needle jets out with a metal punch! The tutorial shows them being removed w a pencil (better idea).

I damaged all 4 to various degrees. Not major but I expect the surface condition is critical so I am going to replace them.

Anyone know where I can get just the needle jet? Randakk's doesn't appear to have them. Cheap carb rebuild kit on Amazon includes them. I might try them as a last resort.

Perhaps look for some new OEM jets on eBay. Others may have a better idea. Aftermarket are known to mostly be inferior.

Also the aftermarket kits cover all the years with one part. They were/are not all exactly the same.
