bike carb spacing, advice please

I'm currrently looking at manufacturing a manifold (maybe a few) for bike carbs onto a zetec. Thing is there's obviously some variation in spacing (I have a few dims from different people). Is it an easy job to re-space them usually?

I'm obviously trying to make my design as universal as possible (thus cheap as possible). I know that the silicone piping will take up some variation also. Any advice from the guys who run bike carbs?

No need to respace if your making your own manifold.

I just roughly angled the pipes in, and used the original bike carb inlets attached to plates on the manifold.
