 Some body may have one of those but I don't know who. Jerry Hey could
 build it. Here are some pictures. I'll ask Al Gietzen where he got his.

 Thanks much Paul. I could build it...I just wanted to know if anyone had
 a drawing. Always better to see if there is better out there or if I can
 offer any improvements to what folks are using. Thanks again...

 Check with Racing Beat or Mazdatrix. I think the racers use remote
 filters.

Yeah,
I've actually got one that Mark Wrathall made for me, but I made and am
using another one that fits into the narrow cowl of my RV-4. That says
something about how tight the cowl is.
I can get a photo of my other one in case anyone is interested in it or
building one like it. It can be made in a few hours with a drill press
and a tap. Right now it is up at the hangar.

Brian Trubee

Thats much appreciated! Thanks Brian, and Paul. BTW, both Mazdartix and
RacingBeat sell the block off plate for $65 (thanks for the tip Paul).
But like Brian said, it looks like one could be built out of scrap
aluminum and a couple of hours. Not that I'm a cheapskate... I just like
to fab things with my own two hands  :-)
Best regards and thanks again,
John Bell
