Hello
I am rebuilding a starting motor out of a D2. It has two hollow tubes that install on either side of the magneto. I haven't been able to find a reference to these in the D2 / D4 parts book. Would appreciate if someone could let me know the reference for these. I have checked the HT4 parts book thinking they might support the cut away dash - but cant find a reference there. Have found a couple of pics on the web where these are also installed. Thanks

Those are for the spark plug wires to run through. Part# is 2B8491 I think it is sold by the cm.

Not the two tubes that support the intake manifold from the air cleaner?

As Stephen wrote. I had to build up the manifold area where one of them sat as it had been loose and had wallowed out

Support tubes for the air intake pipe. Part #5F8314. I believe they are just 1/4" trade size pipe.

But he does also need the tubes that Rome referenced for a good clean installation too. Nicely tidies up the plug wire routing
