Bill,
Would appreciate photos when conditions
allow. Although, hadn’t planned on P-Port for my Renny.

I'm hearing you, I guess you mean the
Renesis manifold. Maybe someone can duplicate that in carbon fiber, in a more
compact form. I know - another job for Bill Jepson.
The P-port insert used on the PS
equipment duplicates an arrangement that Everett and Steve came up with that,
in my opinion is near perfect for aircraft use. It is a simple tube bent back
over the top of the engine. The mount is unique and I can't think on a better
way to do the job. The intake is a thin-wall steel tube with an inlet bell on
the end in a plenum. It is tough, lighter than most composite tubes would end
up being, and easily modified for length. I work with a lot of carbon and could
do better given time...for about 10x the cost. As an engineer I really believe
in KIASAP a variation of the KISS principle. KIASAP is keep it as
simple as possible, under our conditions.
