Z900 airbox rubbers

#1 PostAuthor: Rudger » Sat Nov 29, 2014 12:10 pm

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help me ?

I have a 1976 Z900 that was built by a previous owner mostly from NOS parts. It looked great but has had many problems. I've sorted all but this one.

The outer 2 rubbers between the carbs and airbox don't fit properly. It's as if the outer 2 carbs should be a little nearer the centreline of the bike. The rubbers will only just extend to fit around the carb inlets - but remain at an angle and the clips don't sit on them correctly. I have some photos - but can't work out how to attach them. The carbs fit perfectly well to the head.

If anyone knows whether there are alternative rubbers I'd be grateful. In addition - if there are some instructions on how to attach a photo I'd be grateful.

Thanks - Rudger
