Carb leaking

Well, after trying many gaskets and o-rings, and after speaking with Mike at Mike's Carburetors, I thought I had the fix to my leaky plug on top of the carb. He suggested that I file the mating surface on the carb and the brass plug, which I did, and this led me to the discovery that the plug was cross-threaded. I don't remember doing it- but I could have. Looks like a 5/8"-20 thread, but I don't think I can fix it.

Anyone have a spare carb top for a "48 Super Eight Carter carb?
