It can easily be made to fit, it just needs a small bracket made to stop it slipping down.

Or fit the 500 airbox where it fits. I threw a few of those away many years ago, no one wanted them then. My BIL just found a load of 500 bits in his sons garage where he'd stored them many moons ago, I'll ask if he's got any filter parts.

Thanks Ken, if not I’ll soon adapt to fit! Cheers!

Number 4 float pin is fighting me a bit, these 50 year old float pin pillars scare me. Wouldn’t take much to break. Think I’ll leave to soak and try tomorrow.

It fought me but I won! 🤣🤣

Nice project bike to get your teeth into.
It may help on carbs if you've a steamer (wallpaper stripper) to direct a continuous jet of steam at the gunge to free it from a comfortable accumulation it's acquired.

O nice one Nigel! Never thought about steam! 👍
