 I designed an improved version. Somewhat simpler and a little
 lighter.

 You will need a pressure cap fitting from one of the car racing
 outfits. It needs to be tig welded to the top when you tig weld
 on the 90 degree pipe bends. It requires a lolly pop cuter to
 make.

 The amount of R&D spent on this device is gigantic. :-) Thanks
 to Mark Steitle and others for all the work they did on it.

 It clears the P-port slide throttle.

Hi Paul

Is the 3D file or information to make this item available?

Bruce Cosgrove

I'll see what I have. With a 3 axis NC mill it requires an expensive
lollipop cutter and then it is still not great.

Fortunately my new shop I am working with has a 5 axis
machine. Should be a piece of cake :-)

But expensive.

How serous are you ? :-)

Here is the latest and greatest. I put many hours of work into this.
It looks simple but getting it to fit and then having it bolt on
is quited challenging.
