Old / cracked / otherwise unusable VM28SS (Z1) carb holders

We've commissioned some prototype dummy glass 'float bowls' from a local custom laboratory glassblower, and they vary a little in height, necessitating some vertical adjustability of racks.
We don't care about radial cracks that would cause vacuum leaks, only that there is no severe cracking around the outer periphery that would compromise the ability of the holders to support the weight of a rack without sagging, although mounting the holders 'upside-down' might be a workaround for that. Missing rubber vacuum port caps is OK. No vacuum port at all is OK. If in doubt, ID of the holders needed at the carb end is 32.5mm ~ 33mm. Prefer a matched set.
We will gladly pay shipping within CONUS.
This project is further experimentation in the development detailed in this thread:

See photos attached for the fixture I made to mount carb rack. I found just using the end two carb holders to hold the rack is simpler to align and level. (but still have four holes to bench sync slides) A small bar clamp holding the rack to the board is easier than trying to use hose clamps for the carb necks. More than likely you already have a fixture made.
If no one has some old holders to send, as an alternative some el cheapo chinese ones from evilbay with free shipping would work.

Great minds think alike. I need to drill the hole to do the bench sync.Just some suggestions:

I like the mods. Never thought about mounting the Auxiliary tank yo the stand.Btw Mikaw, my fixture was copied from yours and I added the legs to the top so I can flip it over to access the jets and floats
