WANTED: Tiny VF500F Carb "Washer"

daeven · 10-20-2009, 07:38 AM

Guys,

I really need one of the aluminum "washers" used on the aluminum tubes that connect the fuel between the carbs on my "parts bike" VF500F Interceptor. I think I can get the thing running after I get that part and put the carbs back on the bike (thanks to the pointers I received on this board regarding all the vent lines).

Does anyone have one to spare? Or, any pointers on where to find them? Of course the Honda part is discontinued, and McMaster-Carr doesn't have a part in the correct size.

Thanks,

Dan

Copper washers will work just as well and are easy to find at a hydraulic supply or seal supply house.
