The actual reed block is the outside physical same size. and uses the same bolt battern However the openings into the reeds them self are bigger.
Inlet reed opening
AF16 25.36 mm X 19.91 mm.
Aero 80 33.86 mm X 22.38 mm.
Outlet
AF16 28.02 mm X 20.02 mm
Aero 80 33.84 mm X 21.73 mm
Along with Aero 80 intake manifold which is a lot bigger in diameter, IMHO, this would be an and cheap upgrade for the intake.
Af16 intake 16.82 mm opening at the carb.
Aero 80 intake 19.40 mm opening at the carb.
Otherwise this intake will handle an bigger PB carb than the AF16 setup. The Aero 80 carb is a 16 mm venturi and the throttle bore is 19 mm where as the Af16 PB carb has a 16 mm throttle bore. At the reed end both manifolds match the reed opening.
Oh and I have three of the Aero 80 intakes and reed set ups on hand.
