High risk > for the first couple guys that sign on :-) Well - was thinking we'd want snorkels (to preclude water ingestion) and a temp trigger so it would run after it was shut off (short hops - stop and go traffic). I thought it might also be possible to rig something off the main fan if I worked from the tranny side of the head and vent through the top. Depends on operational temp range of the DI and just how hot it runs in the DI cabin. Also depends on whether or not the coils are in fact being baked by the head or are simply too lightly built for the job. Whatever the case - the trick would be to get it all hooked up without cutting into the DI circuitry. I'll buzz over to my dealer here in Halifax and see if they have any dead DI units around to see how they are laid out. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Louis Prima - Angelina Zooma Zooma Zooma Live http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/159.RAM
