hi all, i have made a new bike carbs manifold and throught i would post some pics up here.

i made my own flange from some 6mm steel plate that i got from a mate of mine, which truned out like this:

homemade flange

then i got some gas pipe, turned down on a lathe from a bloke my dad and i know, for free, so that i can use the new carb rubbers i got, to make use of the lip in the rubbers.

then i hand cut the gas barrel to the correct angles to get the from the head to the motor bike carbs, and then weld them up.

then had to hand cut the correct angle to angle the carbs up, to clear the chassis.
and attach the flange to the pipe.

and i got the angle wrong from the old manifold, so i was 30deg out so i had to buy a new air filter, and cut a bigger hole in the bonet.

Your manifold looks good and you can use the vacuum pipes to balance the carbs with a vacuum gauge
thats how i do mine
