Hi, as you might know, the rubber sleeve is stepped down between the the carb side and the intake manifold side. I have not been able to find any of these. However, I do have the rubber sleeves that are correct for the PHF carbies you have, and have been able to use them after making a sleeve using some aluminum strap wrapped around the intake manifold of the correct thickness to take up the space. If you want to try these I have them posted in my shop - they come with new stainless steel clamps also. www.Shop.BevelHeaven.com

The only one i find is the "Rubber Manifold & Clamps
dell-man/clmps" but is this for a dellorto carb or for an original ducati sd 500 carb? greetz

I'm using a piece of thick rubber hose that is tight on the manifold end and REAL TIGHT on the carb. I'm using a thinner actual piece of radiator hose to go on the rear of the carb to the airbox.

your bike has dellorto carbs. The intake manifold on yoru bike is slightly smaller OD than the OD of the dell carb, so the original sleeve is stepped. SInce the original stepped version is not available, you can get the ones I mentioned, and make a sleeve for your intake manifold so they can be tight fitting.
