Bolt holes on bottom of carbs
Miks15 - 14/7/10 at 11:13 AM

Im using a set of GSXR600 carbs, and wanted to add a bracket to give them some support from underneath so theyre not just held on with the mounting rubbers.

There are 4 M8 bolts hole (one under each carb). What are these for? can i use them to bolt a bracket too?

I also need to use this bracket to secure fuel lines and electric cables too aswell as the throttle cable adjuster.

Thanks

Will be drain holes for the float bowls - they usually only seal when they bottom out the thread (not the head) so not really usable for mounting

why would drain holes be threaded?
Sorry if its a stupid question

Because that bolt is what seals the drain hole off

could be holes for heaters (mine have them) you dont need the heaters so you could use the holes as described
a piccy might help
