Hi, love the forum!

I recently purchased a Model 40 and started a restoration on it (obviously not a period correct resto more a freshen up).
All parts are with the mower and I’ve become aware of the lack of spare parts

Couple of questions,
1. The Villiers carby has a broken banjo fitting (Plastic) where the fuel line connects too, I found another carby but it’s pricey so I am wondering if I could retro fit a Briggs motor easily like what is done with the 45s? Unless I can somehow find a new banjo fitting?

2. Are the cutting reels different from the 40s to the 45s?

Thanks a lot for any help
