Airbox to carbs...bought a set for my K (Dohc) from cmsnl.com maybe thats where Rampton got his ???....
Boiling in water with 10% oil of wintèrgreen can help to soften...
Others use xylene and oil of wintergreen ..70%xylene 30% wintergreen soak to soften BUT oversoaking in xylene can cause swell.....
Are they solid as a rock? If so a xylene soak may fix but recheck it EVERY 12 hours to avoid swell
