Warped carb body

I have a spare set of 28mm carbs and a couple of the bodies have been warped just enough to bleed slightly at the float bowl gasket face.
Does anyone know if and how they can be gently straightened without busting the mazac type alloy shite?
Thanks

Just a thought but are you convinced it's the bowls and not one of the joiners only sayin cos I had the same thing drove me potty until I figured its was transferring from one of the two straight join pieces

Thought of that, pretty sure its not that.
Hold the float chamber instu without a gasket and it rocks from the
corners where its warped. looks like the screws have been overtightened which has pulled the corners down.

have you put a straight edge across them to see how bad they are ?

Couple of things to try, if its the bowls use a piece of glass and fine emery to flatten them using a circular motion,if you are sure its the bodies you may be able to use two gaskets and alter the float height slightly to compensate if its only a very small amount..Paul J
