Unless you have a special head with two separate inlets, I would imagine one of those carbs would do the job easily.
Have a look at the blitz buggy link I posted somewhere. :o

Id go for a tube based fanny mould, just make a set of flat plates to bolt to the carbs and engine then cut a piece of appropriate carved tube and weld it in between....

explain that a little better stuey... i was just going to use the gasket (pictured) as a template, and then machine it out of 10mm steel, the weld two pipes on to it..

My carbs have rubber connectors on them to connect straight to engine
