#1 How to install bonnet sugar scoops ?

Post by Durango2k » Sat Feb 10, 2018 2:30 pm

Hi,

How to install the scoops ?

a) install diaphragm panel (because you have to set 4 bolts to the wing flange next now),
then fiddle scoop in through the lamp hole, curse, scratch, and hopefully it‘ll fit ?

b) fit scoop to diaphragm panel, install as a unit, but how to bolt diaphragm to wing flange ?

Carsten,


Good Question ;-)

I dont know but I suspect it is a) install diaphragms and bolt up tight, then insert the scoops through light holes !

isnt there a rubber strip that goes onto the scoops also ?

Yes there is. And I thought they would be a tight fit to the bonnet - which they do not. There‘s some air gap around their edge.

And yes, through the light holes seems to be the correct way.

Yes through the light hole, it’s like one of those magic puzzles!
