Hi,

I'm thinking about making some changes to my inlet and never one to take the easy route, I'm planning to build my own inlet manifold.

I'm quite keen to use a flange mounted carb rubber, and I guess these are taken from motorcycles, but which ones?


I would like to try a 26/28mm Dell'orto, but if anyone can recommend something suitable for the VHSA/B 32mm, that would be very nice too.

Thanking you in anticipation, Martin

Martin..have you ever thought of having an easy life mate.... Respect to your drive mate

I've got a tame ali welder-man near my office. He's a smashing bloke and I really enjoy his company. He charges about £5 a job and does it the same day. I hate driving past his place and NOT giving him something to do.

Anyway, Allen's Performance Parts is th place: http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/prod ... folds.html and the PM01 for the PHBH and the PM03 for the VHSA look good to me. I can't wait to get a couple (unless they are a stupid price).

Er Martin... is this the right forum for this sort of thing?

I think you might be trying to lower the tone, Tone.

Anyway, even you have commented on the quality of Mick Jackson's welding....

sorry martin, left yaself open for that one!

You can buy 30 & 35mm flanged car rubbers from Chiselspeed near leeds , then all you need to do is make a flange for your shortend inlet, i presume you,ll shorten it, otherwise you may as well leave be.

Thanks.

I got in touch with Allen's performance, and they want about £30 per rubber, inc post and VAT. Ouch. If you bought two, the postage cost per item went UP, not down.

I'm a bit miffed really, cos I took time out to design some improvements to their website, and sent them over to them for gratis.

I'm off to the bike breakers. It's a bit out of my way, but it's gonna be a good deal cheaper than £60 for two.
