[QUOTE="chuck c, post: 131111, member: 2907"] I spent an hour plus at Lowe's getting some funny looks. Well, I was carrying around a Solex carb and Goldwing airbox in the electrical and plumbing departments, that might have had something to do with it. It hit me that the make conduit parts out of easy to work and glue PCV and that includes things like [i]junction boxes[/i]. So after an hour or so I found a set of parts that just might make a functional manifold. The flange is a standard aluminum spacer which I will epoxy to the PVC fitting. This kit has one advantage: I can rotate the carb if needed for clearance and glue it down once I find the right spot. The only thing I really dislike is the fact that the carb is so far off center. If I decide that won't fit or makes the cylinders unbalanced I can plug that hole and drill one in the center. I might do that anyway. It's all 1-1/4" conduit parts. The corner junction, 2 offset fittings, 3 straight fittings (one is for the carb) and a chunk of conduit. Total of about $26 for plastic and the flange was $13. It's narrower than the original air box and about the same height. I'll try putting it together tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I will take pics. If the kluge works I'll post drawings and a part list. [/QUOTE]
