Hi. Welcome

Hi OSZ - any Slingshot 1100/750 36 or 38mm carbs would fit - some flatslide carbs would work well on your tricked up Bandit.

You could probably fix your carbs using JB weld or similar (incorporate a washer for extra strength), it looks like the sealing surface is still good, so maybe not the end of the world for your old carbs.

Welcome ! Those carb screws are made of cheese! Good fitting 'driver is the secret! I agree with Oilyspanner. JB Weld may get you out of trouble. Worth a try, surely?

not on a Mk2 B12, different spacing. Or you would need to swap the intake rubbers as well.

Ah, forgot that Captn ! 

With JB weld (or similar) add some over the surrounding solid parts of the carb - add some grooves too, to help the repair bond to the carb body ,heap it up too, you can always pretty it up later. Make sure the surface is clean from any grease/oil etc and let the repair cure for 24 hours - given a chance it can make really strong repairs.
