Carb Trumpets
craig_007 - 24/7/10 at 08:18 PM

I'm looking for 4 trumpets for my carbs,Ideally I'm needing them about 100mm long but length not so critical.

Outer dimension at carb is around 42mm and the trumpet end ideally around 60/70mm.

Or if anyone knows someone that can knock these up for me that would be ideal

I started making my own fibreglass ones with a clay mould. Worked really well, until the resin set too quickly.

im after some as well - some nice shiny ones would be good!

Yep agreed there.

made mine out of the left over B&Q ariel mast i used for my coolant pipes. they are straight though with a small trumpeted end.

easily done by making a plywood former (hole in plywood and run round with a radius cutter in the router) stick your piece of pipe through the hole and then hammer the end into shape bit by bit. to buy trumpets you are looking at upwards of £20 each. make you own for pennies.
