edge of the bypass cover to allow the wires to
go through. We recommend to only notch the
front edge of the cover, instead of drilling holes
and feeding the wires through these holes to
plug them into the engine, simply because in
the tight space it is easier to put the bypass
cover on AFTER the connectors are plugged in
to the engine.
Locate the best position and then drill a hole for
the fuel line into the bypass and install a half
meter long piece of fuel line in the engine. Plug
this fuel line at the loose end so that no dirt can
get in.
Then trial fit the thrust tube. It must slide over
the rear cone by 10-15 mm. Drill the stainless
tube and the rear cone of the bypass with each
3x 1.5mm holes, at 120 degrees around the
perimeter, 40 mm from the edges. Then hook
the included thrust tube springs up and make
sure the thrust tube is pulled with authority
towards the cone, still allowing angular
corrections easily.
What you have in hand now we call the
integrated engine unit, which looks a little like
a huge pulse jet engine... Put this assembly
aside for now and plumb and install the fuel
saddle tanks.
