Rubber manifolds for Dellorto are very expensive so I asked my mate Rob to make a adapter in order to use much cheaper “Ali” rubbers ! He tought it was a good idea, because he has some Dellorto’s too. I did the measurements and he translated that into a cad drawing and made a few pair on the CNC bank.
