    Paul/Blake, I'll take one of the kits for the slide throttle. Where
    did you
    get the velocity stack/EFI setup?

    I don't have any more kits. Blake has the Teflon.
    I'll send his email address by private.

    The 2 inch OD .065 wall 180 bends came from Burns Stainless.

Paul,

Did anyone ever come up with a 3-rotor version of the slide throttle.
There's getting to be quite a few of us tripple-rotorheads out here.

Mark S.

Not yet. One problem is the Teflon comes in 12" by 12" sheets which
is not long enough for a 3 rotor. It gets real expensive if you buy it
in larger sheets.

I have some ideas for cutting the cost of the Teflon as it has
gone sky high lately. It requires a bit of additionally machining however.

As an alternative, has anyone looked into getting an aluminum
(or whatever) slide coated with one of the teflon or halar coatings.
I did not find any local coating companies.
If you do, you might be able to convince a company to drop a slide in
with another production batch as a test.
A little machining on the aluminum could cut some weight and reduce contact
area (friction) at the same time.
