<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't like the teflon approach. Wierd
stuff. it shrinks to its nominal size when cold and is really tight.
then when it heats up it gets loose. It can be pretty stiff too. A
Webra is not a 4 stroke and I like the softer give of silicone. I use the
clear 5/8" high purity tubing because it's good to 500 degrees, which is 150
more than regular silicone. number 51845k38 is what I order.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering what type of material people are
using for couplers for their two stroke engines. I am going to place an order
at McMaster-Carr (unless some else has a better place to get it) for the
Teflon coupler material. What part # are you using? This will be for a Webra
(Mac's header) and Aeroslave carbon pipe. Both are between 3/4" to 7/8" in
diameter.</FONT></DIV>
