I have been asked about the 45 woven tapes from ACS

here is what ACS told me:

3" wide - part number: 45tap3 - $1.25/ft
4" wide - part number: 45tap4 - $1.68/ft
6" wide - part number: 45tap6 - $2.50/ft

this is very expensive. you may want to try the woven material That I got.
it costs ~$.10/ft but it has no edge (you have to wet before you cut) and it
is a very coarse weave (fine for inside work) but great strength.

on carb air boxes: I am concerned about the connection between the carb air
box and the cowl. has anyone come up with a good flexible connection? I am
worried that the banging of the engine/airbox and cowl will knock the
carburetor off!

on cooling: does anyone have an opinion on the necessary tubing size to feed
a cooling line to the magnetos and vacuum pump from the back wall of the
baffling? I saw one owners cooling "sleeves" on his accessories, and they
looked good. any opinion as to their effectiveness?

thanks,

Scott
