 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.

Paul,

Earlier this week I sent you some $$ for three (3) injector blocks and
three
(3) bellmouths.  Can you add six (6) of the short SS tubes to the order and
I'll send you an extra $25.

Thanks,
Mark

OK Mark.

Paul Lamar


OK, I'll put in tomorrow's mail.

Thanks,
Mark
