Yes, you're right, Ron, that's what I thought you had said. When I grooved the first iron carb. base for this Subaru I cut through the thin brass throttle blade. I got another carb from Pick n Pull and used the same thin brass primary throttle blade from it in the Grooved one. Luckily the butterfly screws were un-staked and removeable. I then cut 2 replica butterfly plates from aluminum sheet material and used 'em as sacrificial guide plates--sandwiched together on the throttle shaft. They werent perfect, didnt need to be. This had the effect of placing the Groove deeper in the throttle bore about 1/8". This meant the Primary and Secondary Grooves could be offset from each other; Primary deeper in its bore than Secondary. Also enabled "timing" the Grooves; Primary w/ slight delay off idle, Secondary closer to its butterfly blade.
As noted elsewhere on this site, using revised bit angle will place cutting bit edge away from edge of throttle butterfly plate; w/more bit angle you get more distance. Revised bit angle should also cause less throttle blade scarring. So on THIS iron carb base-- between removeable throttle blade screws, the aluminum temporary throttle blades/bit guide, and the revised bit angle, I got away with a double Groove!! And the Subie LOVES its new Grooves.....yeah....! Pics:
