airbox to carb rubbers....question!

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

would be grateful if anyone can help me with this query. I have a  1977 550K3 and need a new airbox to carb rubber. On the David Silver website they are not listed for the K3 but are listed (as a set) for the 1977 F2 Super Sport. I presume they would fit my K3? In the photo (on the website) they look like the right ones. Can anyone enlighten me? I only need one by the way (#4 pot) but looks like I need to buy the set.

the K3 rubbers are different to all other 550s due to using different carbs. I dont think they are available in the uk, but I managed to get a set from the US but can't remember the details, will try to find them and post details. Regards, Mick

I think they might fit with perswasion, I'm fairly sure that whilst different I have used 500 parts on my 550k3 and vise versa. I'd have to measure to be 100% sure what I've done /is possible. I do know the rubbers are longer on the k3 then the 500 but I think spacings and diameters are the same so stuff can be fitted by bending a few braketts as I recall.

I can't find any trace of where i bought them, i think it was via ebay or the US sohc site, i think he was just a man in a shed but did a good job reproducing rubber items.
