new to rotary, 84 rx7 11a

Hi all! I'm the proud new owner of a 84 rx7 1.1 that has been in storage for 20 years. it has 60k miles and was parked because the clutch started to slip. I'm learning new things every time I mess with it to get it back on the road. So far I have replaced the starter motor because it was locked up. dropped some mystery oil in the plug holes to lubricate the seals and poured some fuel in the carb. fired up and I smiled. From there I worked on fuel delivery. dropped the tank and found it in pretty bad shape. after no luck finding a replacement tank, I sent it to a company that refurbished my tank. Now I have the Nikki carb off and dismantled for cleaning. Does anyone know where to get replacement jets for the Nikki? It appears as if someone tried to clean the carb in the past and I am noticing some of the heads on the jets are damaged, along with missing check balls and weights. I found rebuild kits but they are mostly only gaskets and orings along with float needles. also is it better to keep the stock Nikki carb or is there a better, more reliable option? Not planning on doing any modifications to the car.
