TOPIC:

Will only be used for mounting a rack of Z1 carbs on a larger board to be used as a vertically-adjustable support while further development in the use of glass "dummy float bowls" takes place.

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:

Just some suggestions:
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.

I’m sure I can help. I’ll dig into my stash and let ya know.

Great minds think alike. I need to drill the hole to do the bench sync.  

Mikaw, the plastic conduit clamps are to hold the 1/2" pvc pipe the temp fuel supply jug hangs from...

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

I like the mods. Never thought about mounting the Auxiliary tank yo the stand. 

Your choice.
