CARBTUNE - permanent connection

hi all,
at some point, the carbs on my project are gonna need balanced.
im planning on permanently connecting the 4 adaptors onto the bike.(with or without hoses)
these brass adaptors dont come with sealing caps, though im sure they used to.
& the hoses will be 3/16 id.
anyone any ideas how to seal the adaptors?
i suppose it would be easier to connect the adaptors & then shove on the hoses & seal the hoses up somehow but i'd prefer not to have the hoses permanately connected up.
any advice?
cheers,
GAZ

a very short piece of hose with a ball bearing glued inside should do it.
just make sure the ball is big enough not to slip down the tube, although it is a very small tube.

but more chance of an air leak Wink

even half an inch of pipe will do it, shorter the better.
you could screw and glue self tappers in there but i would go for something as light as possible as you dont want it pulling the pipe off.

go pull some pearl beads from your mums necklace, im sure she wont mind Wink
