I must admit I was owner of a set of 62 Terminators few years ago. Never ran them....other story.
Anyway, now helping a friend find a set of 58-62 mm, I came across that Gene Berg lists a good selection of new ones.
From their castings and even 48 to 60mm.
Just FYI.

Nice list, but I don't think they make those carbs any more Sad I was at the Berg shop in the spring and Dee
Berg gave a shop tour and I saw a bunch of Berg IDA castings but she said they had flaws and she was not
going to get more made due to high costs.

Good luck with them Fredrik. We have a set of 58IDAs and had to repair them due to poor castings that leaked in several places. They are about 15 years old, but I have a set of Dellortos that I have had since new that are 20 years old and they're ok.

That was bad news!
Just felt GB was the better option from Terminators.

Quote Al at GB;

"You are correct in that we do not currently have any 58/60mm carbs for sale. The problem is not with the casting, but finding the time to machine them. They are a very time consuming part and we have other more pressing parts that require machine time. We will be re-visiting them in the future, but I do not have a delivery date. "

This is part of my conversation with Al

Hi Fredrik
Yes, I would gladly get rid of them even though they are now functioning as they should, but the problem is what can I use instead?
The engine is 2800cc T1 86x101.6 with 15:1, 54Ti X 40Ti angle flow heads and fk98. Basically need to support about 300hp.

A little bit more and we could use diesel fuel:D
Having so many projects going on in the shop now, I don't think we have time to convert it to injection.
