Hello
I bought a pair of UFO from NCS, supposed to be for RD /Banshee . But when I checked it on the RD slide it's too loose. Did I get a wrong product ?

1976RD400C

Hmmm...  I think those are the only small ones they make. I would just center it the best you can and blend the edge of the back of the slide to it.

Is it so, in that case if it's not a flush fit will it affect airwaves  :umm:

well banshee carbs are 26mm.  :twocents:

So it's not meant for RD350 VM28 carbs ?

This is from email by racerclam (member here) "UFOs to fit the 28s so I cut them down from the 32 size . They make for banshee 26s and 32mm and up. I cut them down to fit many different sizes. If you want do them I need the carbs also to make sure the cut outs in the bottom fit for the slide to go down for idle , not a problem" --- He works with these a lot also does dividers, can't find the link to his site now.

Thanks 😊 so what NCS sell for RD is not for AC RD.s . Will take up with them

You would think they would have at least sent larger ones, so could be trimmed down.

Rich knows what hes talking about. I never understood fitting ill fitting ufos to the carbs. thats why i got the aluminum ones from bobblesbits in the UK for the 34s (that i still havent reinstalled).


racerclam

Corrrect . I can do the UFO mods to make them fit

Does bobblebits make them for 28s?

NOT SURE. HE CUSTOM MADE some for vm34s I asked him to do for me, hes more triple oriented. i actually sent him a full blueprint of the slide i needed it for (modeled in SW and then put into a drawing).

Im sure that helped move it along.
