Engine to Pipe Spacing and Installation.
This is a crucial part of any engine
installation. Please refer to your engine
documentation for proper installation and
engine to pipe spacing practices. The
photos show a proper reference for engine
spacing and alignment.
You should have 1” spacing betw
een the
end of the engine tailcone and the
beginning of the pipe inlet
(NOT THE BELL MOUTH)
The tailcone of the engine should be tucked
inside the bellmouth. Once center
alignment and distance is achieved, you
can drill/mount your engine using wood
style screws or bolts with blind/lock nuts.
Fuel Tank Assembly and Installation.
Pre-fit and dry install your fuel tank fittings,
you will drill can vent holes where needed.
NOTE: when locating the vent hole for the
fuel tank, be sure to pay attention to where
the split line is.
You must be under the
tank/smoke tank separation line; you can
see inside the main tank for reference.
Carefully clean and Hysol in fittings. Note
fitting directions. Build tank clunk pick-
up’s
as seen in photos. Be sure to solder collets
to both ends of the brass tubing. Measure
lengths of tubing as needed and pre-fit
after curing of fittings. Use wire tie to
secure fuel tubing. Pre-drill aluminum
mounting tabs before installing into
Midbody. Use provided wood screws to
install tank. We recommend a bead of
silicone around the front edge of the tank
to the fuel tray for added security.
Tank must be installed in Midbody
before nose section installation!
