Better solution, not quite as trick looking, but a #@!! of a lot less weight
hanging out there to break, and a fuel system break means fire hazard. Run AN6
line to a AN 'T' with other two branches at AN4. Then run AN4 line to the
carbs. Cut of the hose and use a short length of shrink tubing to cover the
frayed braided end of hose and a simple hose clamp. Haven't broken anything in
over 12 years. Alternately, you could buy thos "cute" little ends they make to
cover the ends and the hose clamp.

For a short distance, you'll never see a difference between -4 and -6 in fuel
flow. If you had monster big carbs, such as HD8's, they have a larger brass
tube on the float bowl to begin with, but I don't think you are.
