<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>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.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Well, I
guess that's why they make Fords and Chevrolets. I prefer the Teflon tubing. I
used one piece of 1/2" ID PTFE tubing on the YS 1.40L-powered Advantage that I
flew for 2 1/2 years. I never used any clamps on either end.<BR><BR>Ron Van

Coupler part # at McMaster-Carr<?/x-tad-bigger><?/fontfamily><BR><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Hello,<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>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.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Thanks,<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Emory
