intake/exhaust
Can anyone help me find some intake/exhaust brakets/plates.
I went to a 4-wheel/motocycle/etc... store and they said they couldn't help. They couldn't even order any.
So does that mean I have to find it somewhere else?
I have a 5hp honda engine with a side shaft. The intake/exhaust isn't on the same side either they are each on their own side.
Thanks for the help. I'm getting my DOM tube machined hopefully today.
Well I think I can just have those parts machined unless there's some I can buy done already.
AND
Just got back from the machine shop and now I have more questions than finished metal parts.
I've seen lots of geet videos and most are modified from the plans on panaceauniversity.org. I see most with non-tapered 1" T's with a hex bushing to connect the 1/2" intake tube to the 1" T.
The guy at the machine shop was telling me it's gonna be super difficult to use the hex bushings when I'm trying to thread the 1" T and the 1/2" tube after putting on one of em. He was explaining that one will go on easy but when I try to put the other end on I'll be cussing up a storm.
He was telling me some alternative methods to do it using the parts I have. One included turning down the inside of the hex bushing where there are no threads to make it smooth. Then press in a slip ring to the bushing so that the 1/2" tube will be a tight press fit on only one of em. The other end of the 1/2" tube will be threaded into the hex bushing. And then on the end where there are no threads and it gets pressed into the slip ring just put some Hi temp RTV silicone.
But I wanted to find out how others are using the hex bushings.
And I was just thinking. Do I even need to thread the 1/2" tube if I'm using hex bushings? Could I just put a slip ring into each one and just press the 1/2" tube into em with some silicone? Or will it leak.. That's starting to sound like a good idea.
My cursor is pointing to the hex bushing I am talking about. There's one on each end.
