Some Weber carb stacks use two-bolt flanges while others use little thingys 
that resemble thin steel valve cover hold-downs. With those, the flangeless 
stacks have a tiny extruded ring that spigots into the carb throat   and the 
thingys rock against the stacks and pinch the rings to hold. Works fine. Try 
Inglese for stacks'    Porsche swap meets etc often have them for sale but be aware 
there are 3 different types: one is plain steel with 2-bolt flanges, one is 
nickel-plated with either 2 bolt flanges or the pinch-holders, and a 3rd type 
are all bakelite-plastic with flanges. They also come in varying diameters. The 
nickel plated ones are (or were) $25 each & you need 8.... 
Frankly, after seeing Steve Liebenow's air cleaner element, I would never run 
without an air cleaner, so be sure the stacks you get fit under some sort of 
air cleaner. This of course makes the showy stacks invisible, but the nickel 
plated ones are still popular. Good luck- J DeRyke
