jbruney,
Saving the world by typing in a message box is what the internet is for. I'm on it for sures. ;)

OK, so far no one responding has done it, or would do it.

Jim > JSMotorsports has put together Commando and vertical mounted motor intake manifolds with the balance tube above the centerline of the intakes for his Keihin CRS carburetor kits. He may have a reason for putting the balance tubes above the centerline.

Here's what the curved ones look like. I use silicone model airplane style fuel line because it lasts forever. Your modified stock manifolds look fine to me.

I like yours better. Mine are hacksawed and hand filed.

Thanks for the tip on the model airplane fuel line. The vacuum hose I'm using is too soft. Initially it collapsed a little until it went trough a couple of heat cycles. It's a little stiffer now, but really has to be replaced.
