[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 95862, member: 60"] Yes I have made inlet tracts up with steel exhaust pipes but they were flange fitting carbs, the trouble with say Mikuni is they need a locating groove for the rubber fitting in the inlet pipe casting which is difficult on a smooth fabricated pipe having said that I did on one occasion find a smooth water hose held better than the Mikuni rubber fitting which seemed too soft and squeezed off, however the groove was still on the inlet pipe casting which helped. I suppose I could add two brazed rings on the smooth inlet pipe if the end portion was straight [/QUOTE]
