He put the inter tube inside a piece of plastic pipe that was the desired diameter then filled the tube with sand and added a shot of air to get the tube to expand to the size of the pipe, shaking the sand down as he went. Using perlite would be just as good, and a whole lot lighter and probably easier to bend to shape. Bob Perkinson Hendersonville, TN. RV9A N658RP Reserved If nothing changes Nothing changes A couple more pictures showing the clearance under the cowl (tape measure,) and the model manifold all by itself. After I get the CAD model. I'll CNC some sort of prototype. If the prototype fits OK, then I will CNC molds.
