To All !!
Considering Paul's suggestion of collating the sizes of the different inlets, for comparison - I'm asking all those with different ports, if they could possibly help me with this exercise and have
easy access to their ports to supply some measurements.

I will need the year of the motor - if it's a 12A or 13B, as well as:-
a. width and height of primary port ( small one)
b. width and height of secondary one (big one).
c. width and height of additional ports (like in the 6 port)

If you could also supply some additional info I will draw up the port template - but I will need

d. distance between a&b edge to edge ( easier measuring)
e. thickness of septum between the primary ports.
f. ( the hard one ) the off-set of a.to b. (in the height)

I guess the easiest way is to hold a straight edge along the ports and see if a. is higher or lower than b. - if so, by how much.
See attached drawing as a guide!

I would very much appreciate your help with this exercise.

I will also try for the RX8 sizes unless someone has that info.

I have a 20 B from someone else - although may very well be some difference there as well.
