'77 - '80 KZ1000 Airbox silencer tubes

The airbox silencer I have for my KZ is missing the tubes that run down into it. I'm quite happy to run without them, but just realized I can probably get some 3D printed locally if I have the correct measurements.

Is someone able to provide this information? Need total length of tube, width and thickness of flange, and interior tube measurement. Figure I can measure the hole on my silencer to get the measurement of the outside of the tube.

Thanks in advance,

I have one of those too. Alternately, instead of mailing the actual tube, I could draw it up in CAD with onshape and share the model with you.

Got to thinking I had seen something really similar recently. Found what I was thinking of. It’s found inside the shock spring on my 1976 mullholland shocks. You could make it work.

That might be a better plan if you wouldn't mind. Avoids the risk of losing parts in the mail. My faith in mail systems has been shook lately.

My first thought a few months ago was a plastic drain tailpiece, but that didn't quite work. Can't remember why.
