Thanks

David -

I was going to post the same thing--I plan on doing the check valve (just received it from Pelican last week) this winter and would love to borrow someone's crowsfoot wrench.

Dear Friendly Rennlister,

If you send the crowsfoot to David, do you mind if he sends it on to me and I'll return it??

Excuse me for asking but is it a special crow foot size or something? Many autoparts stores sell flare nut (or regular) crows foot in metric sizes. I bought a set for fuel filter replacement and it was ~$10-15 for a set from 10 to 19 mm at NAPA.... Of course, its not snap on quality but for the frequency I use them, its well worth the price and gets the job done....

It's ground down so it is thinner. For those of us without grinders, it makes it difficult to make. Here is a picture of Mike's:

I have an idea - can you use cone wrenches that are available from bike shops? Its not crow foot but they are thin....

Nope. But thanks for the help.

There isn't enough room to get the wrench in there--that's why the crows foot comes in handy, because you can then use a socket and extension to get leverage from above.

Darn - sorry I was not much help..... Good luck finding one.

David & Jeff - I have one I can send you. I'll PM you both.

Here's my version:

Eric, thanks for the PM and the offer, I have Pm'd you back.

Jeff, if I am forwarding on to you after Christmas, please PM me your address..............

I will also be using the Kelly Kim SAI DIY kit that he mailed to me some time ago, so thanks Kelly

ahhhh the Rennlist spirit goes on and on.......what a great group of people

InTheAir

David/Kelly, what is the KKim SAI DIY kit??

Jeff
Its all the other bits required to do an SAI flush, like a converted SAI valve to accept and air hose for blowing through the SAI system, Rubber Bungs and brackets to close off exhaust ports that that have functioning SAI ducts, so that only those blocked get air pressure etc.....if you are only changing the SAI valve and not doing a flush, you will not need any of this...Kelly was kind enough to send me his stuff so that I did not have to fabricate, find, buy etc

InTheAir

For now, I'm only going to do the valve, so thanks for the heads up.

Pete as offered to send me his crowsfoot to avoid having to wait, so David/Eric, thanks, but I'll be borrowing Pete's!

Great community.

OK Jeff, I will return straight to Eric when I am done.
Thanks
