Zenith Manifolds vs Weber DCNF manifold for Zenith NDIX 32 Carbs

I can find a few ad's for Vintage Scat DCNF Manifolds but none for a pair of real Zenith 32 VW manifolds.
What is the difference? I have been reading and know the angle is a little different but I think the Zeniths would clear the fan housing ok on the DCNF manifolds but when I measure my Zenith Carburetor NDIX 32 carb base I get slightly different measurements. Has anyone ran them? Will they work?
Zenith Gaskets
(DCNF Gasket) vs (Zenith Base)
85mm--------------83.5mm = 1.5mm mismatch?
52mm--------------48mm = 5mm mismatch?

Thanks Jack, I saw those. The SS ones and Scat linkage with the carbs look ideal but I already have carbs and linkage. That is a good deal though! Any input on DCNF manifolds? I'ed get these if they work on both type of carbs, Be fun to try the DCNF carbs too.

Port matching at both ends of the manifold matters.

I just pulled the trigger on these: Vintage Scat DCNF Manifolds, Sure hope I can match them up. Guess I will find out. These aluminum ones would probably have looked better but they seemed a little short! Vintage dual port VW to porsche manifolds.

Running. Top, Fit, Mounted, Complete Engine.
Port Match leaves a little to be desired with these. The heads will need to be matched to them.

Did the DCNF manifolds fit the carbs base properly?

The Gasket Holes are 34mm, Zenith Carb 32mm, Scat Weber DCNF Manifolds flare to 40mm at carb end. Carb-Manifold, It leaves .75mm ledges on the inside edges only of the Scat DNNF manifolds.
