Which ones. They were available in a few lengths.

I guess length doesn't matter. I recently read that the weber stacks are different so I assume that they can be identified by sight?

Maybe it will be easier to ask if anyone can tell if these are Mikuni stacks.
thanks
(yes, there are four of this size)

The stacks I got with my original late version of the 44mm Mikuni carbs Datsun comp sold with 34mm chokes instead of 37s were shorter and wider... pretty nice, and were shown on the cover of the Comp catalog I have. Those will all bolt to most side drafts, mikuni, Dellorto, OER, SK, and SOME Webers (assuming the same 44-45mm throats). I really want a set of medium, full radius stacks when I do the air box again. Just haven't justified the cost yet :wink:

JT68 has a killer reproduction solex box and sells a filter alike the ITG.
I had the ITG and I loved it, later I put JTs filter in my stock solex box and I loved it even more.
You can't go wrong with either.

Damn Spyder!!!
That’s a great looking U20 you got there pal. By the looks of it., will you have problems clearing that side of the engine bay we you put it back in???

Let me get this straight., you install the backing plate onto the carburetors., then the “full radius Air Horns”., then the air filter?? So the air horns are beneath the breather element?? I always thought guys ran their engines just with the air horns. I also wondered if that was good for the engine to have no air filtration whatsoever....
I’ve heard many good comments on the ITG. I may give it a try.

Greg. I too., am a big fan of JT’s parts. I will be ordering many of my internals through him soon. I want his filter system too. It’s just not in the budget right now. $825 is steep. After learning that you have it and gave it thumbs up, Now., I’m really interested... you pay for quality....
btw. Can you install the airhorns to any of those systems? ITG and JT’s?? I’ll send him an email.

Thanks fellas...Shamus.

Notice, Spyder has the short stacks, not the longer ones shown above. Running filter less on a street car is a terrible idea! Race cars get away with it because of the comparable short time they run and their constant rebuilds.
