Subject: Right bends for intake manifold.

Here are some captures of RB Wagner catalog on the right
bends to buy. This is the three inch radius stuff.

I think if you shop around you can get better
prices from RB Wagners distributors than you can direct from RB
Wagner.

I checked and they don't appear to have .065 in stock. All they
stock apparently is sched 40 which according to the drawing is
.140 thick. When I measure it it is more like .125 thick.


We might be able to get a quantity buy of custom .065 wall if people
are
interested.
Also we could specify a longer straight leg or even a jog at the end
for the fuel injector similar to this drawing of my Kis installation.
Save a lot of pipe welding. And be a bit lighter.

Anybody interested in pursuing this?

"In for a penny in for a pound".  Paul, would the tubes come pre
cut/bent
and ready for installation on the intake?  If so, I'm interested, count
me
in.

Thanks

Yes. If we get enough interest we will send out a drawing for a quote.
As a practical matter you might have to trim the end that plugs into
the casting a bit. If somebody knows a tube bender that does low cost
work we could try them as well as RB Wagner.
