1.2.1 Regulator Mount Pod,
350, Installation
Tools Required:
• 3/8" Nut Driver or 3/8" Open End Wrench
• 5/32" Hex Key (Ball End is Helpful)
1. Locate the screws and washers that were used
to secure the REX pod and set aside along with
the lock nuts found in the conversion kit.
2. Use the new gasket from the conversion kit to
install onto the Regulator Mount Pod, 350. Make
sure that the ridge on the gasket is properly
seated in the groove in the pod.
Thread all of the screws through the gasket
slowly so as not to damage the holes in
the gasket with possible sharp edges of
the thread. These holes have small sealing
rings molded around them to seal the
NOTE
threads to the holes in the metal parts. It is
recommended to thread the screws through
the gasket rather than push them through.
The two long screws are installed in the top two
holes of the pod and the two bottom screws are
secured in the opposite orientation of the rest of
the screws used (lock nuts are on the outside of
the pod).
