What size constant tension clamps are used for the 1.75in tubes?

I have read about the cozy but he never mentions if the headers are stepped. He seems to know quite a lot about exhausts and said he looked at some race cars where it is very common to see stepped headers I dont even think you can buy aftermarket headers for a bike without them being stepped or having a expansion cone

I am very happy to see the eg33 get some love I wonder if the ez36 crank would fit in the eg33 that would give just over 4 liters giving you some more torque while keeping the better eg33 pistons.

Ross, Another great video! For this application do you prefer the dual crimp style terminals over the style where you bend the conductor back?
@rv6ejguy19 күн бұрын
Thanks. We supply the MSD wires with the dual crimp style connectors. The fold over type used on some other brands seem to work fine too.

It’s absolutely R/C. When was the last time you saw a B-29 operate off a grass runway? Never. It can’t be done. Also, the engine sound is not four R-3350 radials. And at the end of the video a human was in the foreground. It is a large model, but definitely not full scale. Is the creator of the video actually claiming it to be full-scale? “Replica” can mean “model.”
