Stewart, if those are the standard heat riser tubs and you don't figure out a way to use them, I'll buy them from you.

Bossman, do the riser tubes you`re looking for look like these? These have never been installed, and I don`t need them. Image

Reverb, those look about right. When I had my new motor built, they were not included with the new carb manifold (which is set up to accept them). Figured that they would be the last thing I could add to dial in our Weber IDF 40. Stewart is close to me, so I can pick them up if they become availible. Sewart, not a problem. Figure out how to incorporate them as best you can. I can wait. Goodluck Mike :driving:

If the Carb is icing

Fabricate closed air cleaners and pipe warm / hot engine cooling air to them. This can also be done easily [ removeable in summer] but pulling air across the exhaust collector.
