VB600

Help!
Still seeking carburettor/engine inlet manifold for a late VB. It's the last part needed to finish.
Any suggestions for alternatives?

Hi Mike, I bought one on ebay for an embarassingly small amount of money.
Search for Amal spacer / adapter.
It would be pretty easy to make one / have one turned up. Do you have access to a lathe? It's just two carby ends joined with a tube.
Given the number of VB's that are now OHV's, there must be some long carbies about. They might be ratted for parts, but the body is all you need.
Have you tried the usual suspects ( autojumbles / Drags / Cornucopia)?

Hello
Thanks for reply but I've tried the usual sources to no avail + I don't have access to a lathe so I'm a bit stuck.

Would have to be close.
Anyone got one handy to compare?
