Single to double rib stepped rubber?

[Adam_Winstone]

Hi all,

Anyone know where I can source a stepped carb rubber that has the single lip on one side and sized to fit on a standard TS1 manifold/34mm Amal stub, with the double location rib for a 34mm VHSB carb on the other side? I note that you can buy a single rib (both sides) stepped rubber from AF (and others) or a stepped double rib item from MB, however, one suggests modifying the carb and the other recommends modifying the rubber, neither of which I really want to do if I don’t have to. Knowing how many people fit VHSBs to TS1s, surely someone has sourced these or had them made?

Anyone know where I can source such an item?

Thanks in advance.

Adam

Hi Adam, I've always used the Cam Lam rubbers without the ribs without any issues, 30 VHSB Dellorto with the insert to fit the 34mm TS1 manifold and a 34mm TMX Mikuni both with the same rubber. The latest Cam Lam rubbers are thicker and less flexible but never had an issue fitted with wide jubilee clips.

Thanks for the response. I'll consider this if I am unable to source a suitable stepped rubber.
