James,

 

I was running the same 90mm trumpets when I first converted to TBs. The inlet of the trumpets was uncomfortably close to the top of the ITG filter. I bought a drop centre back plate from Jenvey to gain some added clearance. It makes the bonnet hole a bit more uniform as well. Here's a piccy:

The drop is about 2" give or take. Here's what sticks though the bonnet:

Jon, how about adding a cow/cone catcher? :D :rofl:

 

With that SumoVersion of your's you'll never notice the extra weight.:D

 

Tom

 

i'd cinsider it but i'm not ready to test the aero limits of DM rules. i figure an 8" wide razor blade would be best to slice the cones so that the base remains in the box and I can creat a faster line!

Well #1 on our list here is also pulling the lump out and finding the seal leak.

replacing the slipping clutch with perhaps something better while i am at it.

 

Mary has me started on X-mas projects however..and that stopped the process.

So far i have the bowling pin end table about 90% finished for my father-in-law.

and now onto the 5' lighthouse. for my brother-in-laws front yard.

 

hey..i am schmoozing for that aluminum flywheel, what can i say?

Bob S,

 

I heard back from Dave at Emerald on the turnaround for the K3 upgrade. Here's his reply:

 

"About one week to get it back in the post to you, that serial number is fine for upgrade. You will get new software and a manual update with the conversion and the ECU will contain your original map. If you want a map switch just say so and we will set up the software to suit. I think a switch is about £20 pre-wired to go into the aux port next to comms.

 

Dave Walker"

 

I think I'll get the switch while I'm at it.

PS: Just found a weld on my alternator bracket is cracked, so add that to my repair list. Hopefully a guy at work can fix it tomorrow.

"did you ever check your transmission fill to see if it is over filled?" Gary - I checked to make sure it was filled to the bottom of the fill hole, drained the transmission, measured the fluid and came up with a little over 53 oz. That should be right at the 3.34 pints that's quoted in the manual. We'll see what I find when I pull the eng/trans in the next week or so.
