It's the carb rubbers from Volkswagen T1 and T2 vans, but mine and at least one other person I know using them had ours split in less than 500 miles from fitting. Luckily both times it caught in time before having engine damage. Don't know why they did but I'm not using them again...
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

sef, i have a quality rubber sat in my shed that i'll never use. I know one side will fit a 30mm Delly carb, if you post the dimensions of what you need i'll measure my one up if it's any good to you, you can have it. Cheers Pete.

The VW rubbers I had were far too flimsy for a heavy carb. I messed around with stepped rubbers for ages, but was never really happy with them. This was on a TS1. In the end I just bought the correct inlet for the job. And then changed to a bigger carb againFruitjuice wrote:It's the carb rubbers from Volkswagen T1 and T2 vans, but mine and at least one other person I know using them had ours split in less than 500 miles from fitting.

I now have four inlets for a TS1 and three reed blocks. Why do I waste my money so?Does anyone do a smaller inlet for the RB20 yet?
