Rubber repair

It's less interesting than making one, but I'd be very surprised if you couldn't source one of these by spending a few hours with broad search terms and checking dimensions. There may even be aftermarket inlet and carb kits that are cheaper than 3d printing a mould and having one moulded.

I steer clear of aftermarket rubbers ... lots of bad reports on the USA site. If you are gonna buy them new get Gen if possible.

Still in the process of doing some temp/harness/swell tests on aftermarket ones ... I suppose if we can weed the 'wheat from the chaff' there may be decent ones out there. You can vastly improve the surface finish of some parts (grommets etc using 'Electrolube RRR (Rubber Roller Restorer) '... it's used to get the ozone crazing from printer rubber rollers but works on bike parts too.

Hm,
Rubber roller restorer - presumably that was the job you were supposed to be doing and you accidentally found it was good for bike parts.
Where I served my Apprenticeship I thought it was a bike and car restorers - it was a while before I realised they were making Aircraft!

I agree but I have spent a good few months looking if not years ...it's on my list of parts to source. ...i got this in a load of parts that I had to buy to get the correct manifold
I think the search will go on.....I will probably have ago with sikaflex and self amalgamate tape for now. ..

I found an Apple Colour laser printer  languishing in the storeroom at a Hull Uni. unloved. A squirt of that RRR stuff got it to spring to life again and it performed after that without fault for about 5 years. That colour laser was so expensive when new that there was a 1000 USD  charge built into the purchase for the installation engineer to install & commission it !
