well it seems that I am suffering from a very senior moment with regards this solution as I did this trick back in the '80's
you can see the grey tube from the cab to pods, that are the same length as the rubbers from air box to carb.and had forgotten it DOH

> SORTED!!!!!! wooooohooo!!!! well guys dunno what to say, thanks for all the replys and to evryone who offered up some advice, but i got her done!!!
and she runs sweet as a nut using the PODS!!!! after much messin, changing the mains, adjusting needle hight, mixture, exhaust systems!!! etc etc!!
the solution was remarkably simple, while looking at all tha bits of fzr strewn around my shop, one of the original airbox rubbers caught my eye, well after pickin up said rubber and looking more closely it became apparent to me that it resembled a rubber velocity stack,
which got me thinking, long story short, bowl of warm water, can of three in 1 oil, firm but gentle hand, i shoved the bell mouth end of the original stock carb to airbox rubber inside the k&N, and refittted them, as by magic no more hole in the power band!!!! running #110 mains, 2, 1/2 turns out on mixture, stock end can! AWESOME!!!! pulls like a good un!!!! so much so however now my clutch is letting go @10k!!!! ahhh well always summat!!!! cheers everyone!!
p.s. i had to trim down the rubber lip/rim/ring that runs round the middle of the rubbers holding them in place on the airbox, using some snips and a rasp to finish off, gives the k&n mouth summat to sit nicely on!
