This small delay will give you plenty of time to clean and re-clean the intake to make sure it's absolutely clean and free from debris.

Good point

Ah, I see. They ride inside the spring, not the bore of the housing. What material will you use for this? I use PLA and ABS on my printer, but not sure if either of those will hold up to heat and fuel.

Good to know about the spoke pattern. Now they will be even easier to replicate.

Great. This makes them candidates for FDM printing as apposed to SLA if they needed a tighter tolerance. That mean these parts will be pretty inexpensive.

Used to be NLA. . Looks like Rob is on the case.

Cool. Can you also verify that the #2 and the #7 spacers are identical like Luis stated?

Great Luis. You missed a couple of dimensions. See pic below. Also no funding needed, but thanks for the offer. Would you be willing to do a test fit and function test if I sent you a few prototype spacers?




Done. As soon as I get them check fit and verified by Luis (or Rob if Luis can't) I will put you first on the list.

Yeah PLA will never work in that application. Much too brittle and will soften at low temperatures. ABS is much better but not ideal. I will be making these out of Nylon. Great wear properties and resistant to petrol and other solvents.

I can't absolutely verify that #2 and #7 are identical since I lost #2 but I can't envision how they would be different.

I won't have my intake back for maybe 2 or 3 weeks so any fitment test would have to wait until then, but I am happy to do it.

The depth I am missing in your annotated pic is 2.18mm and the inner diameter 19.30mm.

Regarding the ribbing in the back of the part, I imagine it's a way to make the part stiff while minimizing the amount of raw material utilized... The only other thing I can think of is that the small chambers can keep some oil in the rotating surfaces. To that end, I would just carve some channels with a dremel if the reproduced part ends up being flat in the back for production simplicity.

Didn't I give you my last new one?

GT6ixer

Thanks for the additional dimensions. It will be easy enough to to keep the OEM geometry intact, that way any original design intent is not lost.

GT6ixer

Hey Sean if I got you a couple prototype spacers next week would/could you do a quick check fit? I could ship them to Roger if that is easiest.

SeanR

Yep, would be happy to do so. Have plenty of intakes to give it a go on.

GT6ixer

Great. I'll PM you and Roger when I have a set to send down your way.

ROG100

#2 & #7 are identical - same part number

GT6ixer

Ok guys, These are heading Roger's way today. They are within +/- 0.010" of the major dimension provided by Luis and verified by a scan that Rob provided to me.

Based on my observation, the height of the hat (4.91mm - 0.92mm) dimension is also critical. If the combined height of the 2 hats, 2 shims and wavy washer is lower than required due to the tolerance of the hat height, the torsion spring may end up binding. I would add some material to the height of the hat, which can be sub sequentially sanded down "in the field". The ID will most likely come in undersized with the current measurement due to the flats on the caliper measuring surface. That's OK as the final ID can then be drilled accurately. Perhaps measure the shaft OD to determine an appropriate final ID.

Rob Edwards

Shaft OD- 9.97 mm.

Thanks Nate - will get them over to Sean for a test fit.
