mine are getting crackly...anyone have a source besides dealer NOS?

 

[oldschoolorange]

Yeah, I made some for my friends cb350 from some single wire hydraulic hose and good hose clamps, Kind of ghetto but cheap and they work great

Hey someone pas me the wrench........ Ahh screw it where is the torch

 

[ttilghman]

Does SUDCO have anything that will work?

 

[lonewolf]

OOPS! sorry bad lead I went and checked the Sudco book and I didn'tfind anything that works without modifacation. The listed flanges all come straight out from the head. It looks likea stock carb would hit the frame. Steve

Tim: I can give you the spare heads off of the extra engine I have. I just have to get it back from Richie, the shop teacher, who I loaned it to. Let me know how you want to go on this.

pete-

if they're in good shape, it'd be great to have them before thrusday morning. but don't worry if it's a hassle.

matt-

if you run across some, let me know.

for now i just smeared the outside cracks with some fuel proof, semi-dry gasket maker on the outside. but basically, i'm just hoping they don't crack through.

love in the infeld -

I took a torch to a set and burned all the rubber off. Then I welded some exhaust tubing to the remaining flanges. Then I used rubber hose for the carbs to slide into. That way I could adjust the length of the intake to make bigger carbs fit better. If someone had a dyno and time, they could try adjusting intake length for max power.
It worked for me and the manifolds were junk anyway. Plus I have a ported head and the metal flanges matched right up with the ports.

Come on Pete, It only sounds sophisticated. I'll put in wanker terms for you. Use a torch(good wanker tool), radiator hose(used from a 71 Pinto wagon) and hose clamps (used not too rusty). There, does that make more sense to you now.
