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  Undecided 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  Wink Smiley

I want a more custom/flared/cartoon look if you get what I mean  Undecided

I have all the proper dimensions/ideas and the rest can be "Freestyle" 

Let me know if you help  Smiley

Try the stack sold by Aircooled Research; think it fits a 34pict and quite flared.

Thats more like it  Wink

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  Smiley

Nice shape on this one though.....
