Yeah i have got one of those, takes a bit of persuasion to get a boost pipe onto it, as it is a little oversized. Just my opinion though :)

I got one although I bought it from here, unstablecable? but as above very tight getting the boost hose on but apart from that its all good.

I orderd one a week ago. Should be here soon and I'm going to chop it up and rotate it.

How is the rest of it, with regards to build quality?

Is it to a similar standard to the other that have been available in the past?

Mine was insanely tight getting the boost hose on, And the drilled holes for the studs on the carb don't line up very well. It went like this, ah that looks tight going through the studs, "should I redrill the holes and open them up a bit, na it'll be fine", resulting in me hammering it on. Im never gona get that off! What a d1ck Iam! :wasntme:

We had the same prob with JRP's in the end with the carb stud fitments he wouldn't let me enlarge the holes and we just ended up sicking the plastic carb top back on but to be honest they don't look that badly made.

Mine arrived today. It's complete and utter crap. It won't fit onto my carb as the base plate was welded on pissed so I have to file the insides out and I have had to redrill the holes to get it to line up and it's not even fitted yet. The inside of it is just as nasty and the welds are some of the worst I have seen on a carb top. the carb tops are light as a feather and cheap quality.

I have taken a few photos I will upload them later. I managed to get it onto the carb but I had to dremel out quite alot of the inside to get it to fit flush.
