Old intake rubbers!!

What do you guys do with your old cracked rubber intakes ... has anyone modded to accept a silicon coupler?

 

By new ones or coat them in rtv or use electric waterproof stretch tape or any number of treatments that have been posted here.

 

if you buy new ones turn the old ones into a carb rack mount to wet set the carbs

 

What im doing with my old ones is welding a turned down 1 5/8 alumium tube to the aluminium flange to accept a 1 3/8 silicon coupler ... anyone wanna send me thurs ill pay shipping possible even buy yur old ones.

 

would you post a photo when your done?
am i correct in assuming that by turned down you mean you turned them down (dia. and length) on a lathe?

Yes you bet ... the aluminum pieces inside the rubber is about 1/2 flange roughly (i just eye balled it lol ) it has a 1 5/8 od dia . The carbs are about 1 3/8 od dia so i picked up 2 different couplers one for a 1 5/8 to 2 inch to adapte cbr 1000 itbs for efi and 1 3/8 couplers for stock carbs ... im going to make another set later for efi if these work out. The turning down part is for i can get a 1 3/8 coupler to fit on a 1 5/8 tube the tube is fairly thick and the inside is a good size to flow ...

I found pictures of what looks like SR20DET. Red top too! Yummy. Wasn't a whole lot of xj intake though... Wanna see finished product, both intake boots and Sylvia!

 

That's actually just the stock Ka in my Nissan I done sold all that though you can see old pictures of when I try to put an xj750 on a Sprint Kart but I just started the intake today I have yet to weld this but this is pretty much a finished product minus the weld my works welder there was taking a shit today. I also was only able to complete one because of the time frame I had took me about 30 to 40 minutes to produce this pretty straightforward from there you get a silicone coupler of an inch and 3/8 and you couple the carburetor to it I'm also going to be making some for EFI if I eventually I just want to ride my bike already
