This is the rectangular home made version.
No plasma or laser cutter required.
Nothing you can not do with a modern saber saw, sawsall
or hole cutter. You will need some tig welding for the overall
p-port manifold and slide throttle.
I am sure Ed Klepeis can make the whole thing for you
if you ask.
The Teflon is 3/8" thick and front and rear plates
are 3/16" so the 2 inch runner tubes can be directly tig
welded to them. There will be more drawings and 3D's shortly

Nice job! I like simple things

Thanks Joe. Some metal suppliers like Industrial Metals
Supply in San Fernando in So Cal will shear the blanks for
as little as 50 cent a cut. You will have to cut the holes.

I see they branched out to Arizona.
This is the method we use for attaching the 10-32 throttle
cable to the Teflon. These are off the shelf 3/8th steel spacers
from McMaster Carr.

McMaster Carr 3/4 inch OD 3/8th inch long 5/16th ID steel spacer part
number 92415A455 $3.32 well worth it. Page 3001 cat 108
Also buy the precision ground blanks in Teflon. McMaster Carr
part number 9711K2 for 3/8 thick 4 inches wide and 12 inches long.
Expensive but well worth it. +-.005 Page Page 3282

Wow!! Those drawings are incredible! I am new to the newsletter and to the
site (rotaryeng.net), which is by far the most informative and professional
site with regards to the rotary engine. I especially like the free thinking
and innovative spirit by the members, and Mr.Lamar. Were the drawings done
in AutoCad? Are the dimensions accurate and to scale? Reason why is I am
designing a turbo exhaust manifold for my 13BT and would like to mate it up
to the side of one of your drawings. I'm using ACAD 2005 and attempting
solid modeling. Sorry for all the questions. Have a good day.

Thanks Paul.
I use Rhino V3. I have Solid Works but I find Rhino much easier to learn.
Everything is to scale and dimensions on request.
You can get a student version of Rhino for about $300.
Much easier than ACAD 3D. Plus we can share files. 3D is ideal
for manifolds.
Doug,
Here is the idea I had. Mill grooves in the Teflon for Teflon
encapsulated O-rings. The oval shapped grooves never allow the O-rings to pass
over the holes in the sheet metal.
