How deep is your pocket and how long is a piece of string?

I bought a set for the 550 with a clutch lever (like you are looking at) for my 350-four that I got rid of a month or two ago. Anyway, I never even pulled the bowls off to look inside as they didn't fit. I'd be happy to sell you the whole rack for $80 shipped. That's less than I bought them for.

Yes, they are for a 550. I thought they were the same as the 350, but of course, they aren't. If you want the rack, I'll unbutton it and take some pictures of the floats and jets to email.
