I had similar flanges made to act as washers for stock manifold to make a better clamping surface and maybe seal better.

I got the Ben Herr manifold to seal at the jugs, my problem is sealing it at the carb. Tried everything, the radiator hose worked until it got too rich and soaked that and blew the carb off in a Parade, nice show.

Perplexing why people take enough time to take your money, then let you make it fit. Yea lets mass produce and sell those.

Mike, have you tried silicone turbo couplers?

He had a good idea, but I think the friction fit was not of the best designs for this bike. His are cnc, the Nemesis I believe are cast and are made to fit with a hose. I've been using a radiator hose for yrs with the 42, the Nemesis stock boot was way to flimsy was prone to splitting. Since the spigot on the 42 is smaller, was a bit of a tight fit on the manifold side tho. but it has never leaked nor blew the carb off. A shame the Nemesis is not made anymore, I wouldn't mind making a comeback with them, just takes money.

If anbody wants to use the drill jig, just let me know and I will send it. I think Doug (from DK powdercoating) still has some of the flange mt units left. Once their gone, thats it.
