DIY FCR inlet boots

[Yakama]

Hi Matt

Did you get anywhere with this?

Hey All,

I have my original set of FCR rubber adapter on my bike.

More then happy to loan these to get the copied to help out.

Let me know if they are needed. And whom to talk to? That or i can possibly get them across to a rubber/plastic supplier I use in Italy and get them to supply a quote on costing.

it appears that there are 4 unique rubbers. If I am wrong and there are only two pairs then it can be viable but for 4 unique moulds count me out. Just too expensive.

cheers

Hi,

I replied to your email but not heard from you. Did you get it?

Hi Blair,

I've managed to locate some of these carb rubbers, well three. They are two pairs it would seem. The ones I have are a bit dried out and hard but if I sent you dimensions of the carb mounting point and engine mounting points along with the rubbers could you replicate them as they are extremely tight to fit at the moment as they dried out

Sorry Yakama, not a risk that I want to take. The dimensions are done by 3D scanning and If I guestimate the compensation wrong then customers will just piss and moan and badmouth us off all over the internet. To say nothing of the cost of the moulds that goes down the toilet. Speaking of horrible inlet manifolds, I am going to make aluminium stubs and rubbers that people can use to make their own for various bikes. I think that would be the best way to solve the FCR issue also.

ok thanks

Hi Yakama, Mate still haven't seen an email did you get my new email address?

Also I have laid the 29 up at the moment to focus on getting the 2TK up and running. So if you guys need all four rubbers to scan / mould etc I'm more then happy to loan them out...

[Yakama]

Hi yeah I did send it again?

If you could loan the rubbers to Blair to scan and produce that would be excellent. So Blair is this ok with you?

[Maelstrom]

See my previous reply.
I think it would be easier to just buy a generic FCR rubber and make the aluminium manifold pieces to suit.
I am looking into this for some of the Mikuni carbs. I believe there are generic manifolds already available for FCR's so just have to cut and fit to appropriate mounting plate.
cheers
