Making a fuel distributor block, go to whoa.

I did warn you: Here's loads of pictures taken while making a new fuel distributor block. It's little smaller than the first one I made and routes the hoses from petcock to carb nice and neatly, it also levels the fuel on both sides of the tank so one carb doesn't run dry when the fuel level gets low.

The block is drilled through left to right 5.5mm and has barbs machined on the end to take the 8mm hose going to the carbs. Two 6mm brass barbs are pressed in place on the front which take the hoses from the petcock via a couple of inline filters.

Well done, interesting adaptor...

Where does the adaptor attach on the bike with the Allen screws?

This gives me some ideas how to deal with the Virago fuel lines. I don't like the way they are arranged. I've got the yellow Tygon F-4040-A tubing ready and waiting for the right idea. Expensive stuff that Tygon, but I have 8 years of nothing but positive experience with it.

It's mounted under the front lip of the battery carrier. The battery carrier is an aluminium one I fabricated ages ago.
