In NZ we have mason bees that love to plug open hoses with their nests, double check the tank breather is not plugged with clay and spiders! Yeah ! The bastard's , I left an ally v8 block outside under cover ..........they filled every hole with a grub and a clay plug . Even blowing them out with c...

Im sure someone made them , I recall having to run downstairs and have a quick measure of the SS calipers I had because I was looking at pix of both 40 and 60mm adaptors ,I also sure that by flipping the adaptors they could be used with 320mm discs and the stock Paso discs .
