Step 3
Modify the canister support to fit it in
the tunnel. DA provides a support
and silicone tubing with the MTW
header/canister system but it is too
tall and not wide enough but it can
be modified to fit as shown in figure
40.

Step 4
Insert the support into the tunnel. Do
not glue yet. You need to dry fit
everything to make sure there is no
problem. Depending on the mount
you received, you may need to add
scrap wood to the sides to give it a
tight fit.
Keep in mind that if you are using
flex headers with the Teflon tape, it
is ok to remove the tape if you need
more range of motion from the flex
portion of the headers. The Teflon
tape is supplied on the headers to
help alleviate leakage out of the flex
portion of the header.

There will be about 4 mm space
between the aluminum landing gear
plate L-Bracket and cans. To be on
the safe side and make sure they
won't hit in vibration causing
interference, grind away the sharp
corners of L-bracket with a Dremel.
Make sure to cover the exhaust ports
on your DA-100 while grinding to
keep any metal flakes or dust out of
the cylinders.
