Coupler part # at McMaster-Carr

[Lance Van Nostrand]

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.

  Hello,

  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.

  Thanks,
  Emory Schroeter.
