[QUOTE="chuck c, post: 134775, member: 2907"] I will double check that. That little ring you see is 5.5mm bigger than the flange ID. The ID of the Mikuni flange matches the intake port but it's holes are centered. The Wing's are maybe 2mm off center. That can all be taken up by the holes being 8.5mm and the hardware being 6mm. I can shift the flange to line up on the port and still get the bolts in. But you are absolutely right, it is also possible to shift the flange the wrong direction and loose that seal over the edge of the intake port. There's nothing preventing that. Thanks for the warning, I'll put them on and center them first, [b]then [/b]make the plastic fit where they fall. When it's all lined up well I can trace scribe the flange profile on the head so it can be lined up easily with the pvc blocking the inside view. [/QUOTE]
