Respaced bike carbs...now need help

I have respaced my zx6r carbs onto a homemade manifold. Got the throttle linkages hooked up and working but i need some longer fuel pipes. The originals are plastic push in types. I'll need two straight ones making and another with a tee in it. Can anyone turn me a set?? I'll obviously pay beer money

Thanks
Dan

I supplied the bar(from e-bay) and just gave him the dims i needed.

You just need to find someone with a lathe and who can braze/silver solder.

I seem to recall he charged me well though...he said silver solder was expensive.

Ok cool. Did you buy bar or tube? ie: did he put the hole through it with the lathe?

Solid bar. He then drilled the hole on the lathe.

I just copied the idea from Dave Jenkins who is on here. His www site is here

Look under bike carbs.

i can do them in steel for you but i think they would rust and i dont keep brass bar in stock
