Title: Calling all machinist/cnc/tool makers - custom carb trumpet/velocity stack Post by: Lee.C on May 04, 2013, 23:57:38 pm Well guys I know we have a few metalworker/machinist/cnc/tool makers on here (just look at the weight saving thread!)
I am looking for someone to MAKE me a custom carb trumpet/velocity stack for a solex 34-pict-3...... I have one at the moment that is a modified 40DOCE item - it looks pretty cool but doesn't quite have that "Look" I want, its too STRAIGHT :-\ There is not enough "Flare" to it, Now I know this has a lot to do with how the trumpet work/helps the airflow but for me this is more about the overall LOOK ;) :) I want a more custom/flared/cartoon look if you get what I mean :-\ I have all the proper dimensions/ideas and the rest can be "Freestyle" Let me know if you help :) Title: Re: Calling all machinist/cnc/tool makers - custom carb trumpet/velocity stack Post by: danny gabbard on May 05, 2013, 02:29:58 am Ya need somebody that spin's metal, or take something already made and adapt to what ya got go'n on Lee.

Richard Thats more like it ;) I was hoping to get mine to "slip in" to the top of my 34pict-3 - Thats what i've done with the current one, it just looks cleaner to my eye :) Nice shape on this one though.....
