I have the short tubes cut for 25 slide throttle kits.
They will go into the sheet metal shop tomorrow.

Paul,

What's the length of the short tubes?

They are 1.25 inches long. Let me know if you want
some for the 3 rotor slide throttles as I have some material
left and I will charge $25 for six plus $5 for mailing.
I cut them on my chop saw with a fine tooth carbide blade.

We are also going to offer separately the contoured (in an NC mill) the
weldable 305 SS 2 inch tubes for inside the rotor housing. Don't know the
cost
yet.

Paul,

Maybe I don't understand where the short tubes go, but why would a
3-rotor need 6 instead of 3? Three on each side???

Mark

Yes. 3 on each side. Now if your runner configuration is locked in stone
you can just tig weld the 180 degree bends to the outer slide throttle  cover.
In that case you will only need 3 for the inner cover to connect
to the SS tubes in the rotor housings.

BTW this is obvious but I will state it anyway. When you bond on or tig
weld the injectors holders to the 180 degree runners use the fuel rail to be sure
they are all in alignment. That is a subtle geometric advantage of the 90 degree
p-ports. It allows tilting the runners forward or backward to lower
the height and still have everything line up for one fuel rail.
