Paul,  I think  you were going to send me an Auto Cad drawing of the
fuel rail.   I can use that when you get the time.  Thanks,  Jerry

OK will send by private email as even the zip file is too big to
publish.

Thanks,  that is a nice 3 D.  I saw the Rhino version of that drawing
which was transparent.  That was cool.     What I was expecting (hoping
for) was a 2 or 3 view 2D  with  dimensions  that I could work directly
from.  Also,  do  you have a plan  for getting air into the box?  Could
we  put a cone filter on front end?   Ideally the air would come in
between the ports, I think.     Jerry

Dimensions don't come across properly in ACAD dwg. Load it into ACAd
and use the ACAd dimensioning facility to add dimensions. The drawing is to scale
more or less. The threads on the ends are just a guess. I recommend AN 3/8 pipe for
the feed line and the other end will have to be metric threads for the Mazda
fuel rail pressure regulator. Also mic the injector feed tubes so you
are sure you are drilling the right size holes. Ream them afterwards to get
a good finish for the O-rings.

I would feed the air in from the front end with a direct ram air supply. No filter
unless of course you fly out of a dusty dirt strip all the time.
