If your intake manifold has that odd dogleg spur off the carb mounting face (for EGR? And I think only some years of 1st Gen had it?), the 2-piece sandwich kit from Redline (US) is the only one I know of with provision for that.
Otherwise, I've found a couple alternatives that seem like they have the same bolt pattern as our stock Mikuni:
Trans-Dapt 2107 - Note what may appear to be two pieces are actually a single cast piece with flanges connected by a riser pipe, which I gather should theoretically improve torque somewhat. Pretty sure I've seen pics on this forum of at least one Weber swap using this adapter.
Redline 99004.300 - The only low-profile alternative I'd seen (before Geez linked that nice Aussie one here), but note the cast-in ramp under one barrel making a sharp transition to adapt the barrel spacing, which seems likely to impair performance somewhat, but I reckon could also improve emissions with greater turbulence helping blend the air-fuel mix. I'm also not entirely sure the cast-in barrels at the manifold face would be well-sized and -spaced for our manifold, since we're an off-list application for this adapter.
