Where to buy 38mm rubber inlet maniforld?

Does anyone have any suggestions about where I can obtain the following in

No, but why not just buy that one? Tell them to send it by USPS (NOT
UPS!) & the postage will be minimal, & you probably won't be charged
import duty & VAT.

That is my fall-back if all else fails. However, the don't have an online
purchase system so it would come down to international phone calls and/or
emails and several days hanging around. If I can buy something easily over
here then I would prefer that.

away from me and as I recall have been around for a while. If they're
any use I can wander over for a look see.

You could try here..

Did you read the OP, Beav?

and if that doesn't work, (for some odd reason) get in touch with these.

I have searched the web for extensively. There are one or two dealers who stock Amal
stuff but I haven't found any that make explicit reference to this size of
manifold. I would welcome suggestions about who to try before I start
phoning around. Even more welcome would be someone who has such an item
knocking about in a old parts bin and is willing to part with it in exchange
for beer tokens. I am putting a 38mm Amal MKII on my LS650. The existing

Its a well-known conversion for these bikes. They come with a Mikuni BS40
which is set up VERY lean for the European market. Re-jetting alone
wouldn't be sufficient to maximise flow as it appears to have a paricular
needle and slide configuration that restricts options. The Amal improves
throttle response and top-end. It is also a simple bolt-on once I have the
inlet rubber - it won't require re-jetting and it is a perfect fit with the
airbox rubber. I also happen to have a 38mm Amal MKII already so there is
little extra cost apart from the inlet rubber,

manifold is slightly too big so I need something like this. The spacing of
the holes for the manifold studs (72mm) is not particularly important as I
am prepared to make adjustments to them - 2 and 3/4 inch would easily be
close enough.

Looks like the one on my old GSXR1100.
The middle two are straight and the outer two offset.
It fits the original 36mm carbs or 38mm Mikuni flatslides (OD=42mm)
Some years had diffewrent size carbs so you should find something to fit.
Or you could try one of these:

Thanks - they look useful - I may give them a try.
