Could anyone recommend a place to get my 46 IDA Webers checked and or rebuilt?
Cheers.

Chris Flavell at Fenn Lane Motorsport in Nuneaton is one option.
Chris is 'fetuhoe' on DDK

Nice looking set of carbs!
How do you get alloy and associated parts that are not being replaced so clean? Ultrasonic bath?

Vapour blasting followed by ultrasonic is the route I took on my Zeniths.

No, an ultrasonic cleaner will only remove dirt not stains and doesn't re-surface.
We remove all of the gallery plugs, vapour blast and then ultrasonically clean.
We have an Abrasive Developments 'Juno' Aqua Blaster which we purchased around 2 years ago.
We 'rod' through all of the galleries and then re-plug.
We vibratory clean all of the steel parts and re-plate.
We have our own gaskets made from Klinger materials and also re-manufacture springs and some of the thin copper washers.
We make accelerator pump diaphragms from Contiflex material that is Ethanol Resistant and have all of our O Rings made from Viton F.
We also make a few optional modifications to reduce percolation and to improve progression when carbs are being used on non-standard engines.
