    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In case your O-rings between you 1000 carbs are leaking, here are the measurements of 29mm smooth-bore tubes. If your tubes seem similar then the O-rings are available from Z1 Enterprises or at least your local supplier im sure.

Fun with CAD!

Looks thicker than necessary. What material? Brass would be a good choice since it's corrosion resistant without having to be plated and it's easier to cut than stainless.
 
They are around 19 bucks from Z1 for the fuel tee and around 12 bucks for the transfer tubes..and they come with the orings. Ive ordred a few sets to replace the schitzy plastic crap ones.

There actually Alloy in Smooth-bores, and looks are deceiving. Specs are as close as i could measure. 5mm hole with 9.3mm cutout for O-rings, that leaves 2.15mm material at its thinnest point. Only 1inch long and just under 1/2 inch round .

Cool link Chuck, We got some of them carb parts for brothers TRX and where good quality.

Sharpy...I get the bowl gaskets from them whenever im doing a set of VM carbs. even with shipping its like a buy 2 get 2 free deal as compared to buying from a dealership. Just gotta do youre homework and bookmark the best deals.

Mikuni typically uses aluminum (Alloy?) but it's anodized. I would not recommend raw aluminum as cut on a lathe since it will corrode too fast.

From what you say the dimensions should be fine. My bad.
