Default A inlet is born

Picked up some Zx6r carbs from ebay for a good price.
They look ok I just hope I haven't been sold some lemons.
So it was time to make a manifold for the CVH. FastDan cut me an inlet flange for the CVH that blanks off the water take off. He also supplied me with a length of 45 OD pipe.

I sat down with my drawing board and worked out the cut angles for the pipes to give me a 20deg incline on the carbs, I'm sure I read its not necessary to get the float chamber line horizontal so 20 deg is halfway so should be good.

Using the trusty rage saw to cut the compound angles made things easier, it was still tricky getting everything the right length after compounds cuts.

heres the result
