Jim, nice work!

Please be aware that these manifolds also bring the carbs closer together, necessitating a shorter hexbar. Also, if you have a regular shroud, the carbs will be VERY close, especially on #1 cylinder.

I did not need to shorten the bar. The 8mm ball ends were removed and the end of the bar was threaded for helicoils to accept an 8mm stainless steel stud, not threaded on one end. The adjustment in length is made up with a lock nut at the bar ends.

I really couldn't tell that there was any change in the spacing between the carbs. I didn't measure it, but the blocks that I made to hold the heim bearings were cut from the  same adjustment plates that were with the original linkage.
