Needing adjustable fuel regulator housing
Need just the housing. My diaphragm is fine. The damn steel vacuum nipple keeps falling out of the housing.

Put the nipple in a vice or against something so the shoulders are braced. Take a small wedge head punch and tap it into the opening of the threaded end and this will widen it enough for the threads to be useful again.
Tap it lightly and test fit. You want an almost snug fit. Mine had the same issue and this fixed mine.
