Bought the two outer ones in 2016. OK, but you need extra care with them.
I wondered about using the boots from the earlier bikes and moving the chamber forwards. Maybe making an extra ring between air filter box or modding the whole mounting.

Its the angle of the outers that is different to fit the pd carbs

I've got a pair of earlier inlet manifolds from a f1, these look deeper than the k3 so would make the carbs sit closer to the air box. Am I right in thinking the f1 carb to air box rubbers would then fit? Or is it not that simple.
I'd like to keep things original if possible

Only if you fit the F1 carbs as well and the carb to manifold rubbers

I had a set off him for the K3 really good quality.
He was a bit reluctant to post to the UK due to a couple of bad experiences but mine arrived OK.
