2 WEBER IDF 48 CARBS ON A V-MAX

 
 

Ernst needed a set of manifolds for 2 Weber IDF carbs on his Yamaha V-max. He made a fixture and the flanges himself and asked us to fabricate the pipes, do the welding and machine the O-ring grooves. Out of a solid lump of aluminum we made the shape of the inside of the tapered pipe. We folded paper around this part and made a template to cut 4 pieces of 3mm aluminum sheet. After annealing the aluminum I formed it around the solid part by hand and Aad did the welding.

 
 

When the 4 tapered parts were welded to the lower flanges Aad machined all the pieces to the exact same size and machined O-ring grooves in the bottom of the flanges. I mounted all the parts to the fixture Ernst made and I made a cardboard template for the next part and then cut 4 pieces of aluminum to size. To be continued.....
