Title: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on May 01, 2009, 04:53:26 am You can take single port tin and cut cylinder tin area's and add to new tin section. Why? #1 For stroked motors there 1/2 shorter so they won't hit body. #2 there clearanced around manifolds and made to fit scat-trak manifolds. #3 you can angle side to line up with fan shroud. #4 you can get to plugs ez'r. #5 if your tin's are short next to case from being stroked, There is 1/4 extra on new peice. And all edges have turned flange.

Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: Neil Davies on May 01, 2009, 10:40:43 am Awesome Danny! How much will a pair of those go for?
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on May 01, 2009, 16:02:52 pm Thanks for your input guys,They will be 100.00 a set
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: Jim Ratto on May 01, 2009, 16:28:42 pm Danny... question. If a guy can't weld, could that guy mark a pair of s/p tin and have YOU assemble them?
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: cal-look 56 on May 01, 2009, 16:32:24 pm Very well made
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on May 01, 2009, 16:45:10 pm If a guy mocked them up on his motor and put about 3-4 alum 3/32 rivets to hold in place I or any good welder could finish. I made a jig that aligns all holes so after welding they should end up in the same place. I'm in town for bug-in and when I get back to shop I will post pictures of the jig.

Does the cylinder tin retain the dam that diverts air around the two center head studs? This is important for cooling I believe.

Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: Lids on August 21, 2010, 20:09:02 pm Danny, are you still making these?
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on August 21, 2010, 22:28:30 pm There has not been any real intress in them and I sold off the one's I had, I might make some in the near future, But I need to finish up on a few things in the shop that are going on now. So it might be 2-3 months, If anybodys else wants them, Let me know.
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: DKK Ted on August 23, 2010, 00:42:21 am Danny, you do the complete coversion, or you sell the ends only? And also for cooling, no problems cause of air coming out around the manifolds?
Ted Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on August 24, 2010, 15:48:59 pm Hi ted, I just make the end peices. For mine I will use a thin peice of rubber that the plug wires will hold in place and be kind of a gasget to seal area.
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: louisb on September 07, 2010, 15:47:43 pm Hey Danny,
I thought of a product for you. How about an extended clutch arm that has a couple of holes for the connection so you can tune the feel? Sorta like this only with a few more options: (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/Hilove_2/100_0838.jpg) For buggy folks you could offer a kit so it would be easier to shorten the cable by including the heim joint & bolt. Make it threaded so you can adjust the clutch as well. Just a thought. --louis Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: Zach Gomulka on September 07, 2010, 18:48:28 pm I like that, Louis. I'd also like to see something similar on the pedal end. Can you say smooth clutch feel? ;)
Title: Re: New product, What do you think Post by: danny gabbard on September 07, 2010, 19:09:42 pm Here is what I did with a control cable
