hi there
i think that the su is the way to go because it will slow the psi down i think they look great
is the blower running 1 to 1 ratio ?
the pulleys are the same size on the blower to balancer ?
my bonnet misses by 20 mm

yeh its close to 1 to 1 ratio pullys are almost the same size

i realy want to keep the carbys on it looks a lot cooler 8) than su's, never been a fan of them su's

did a bit of measuring and made a few templates for some new mounting plates it now will clear the steering box :D
but sits about 90mm higher than it was b4 so they will hang out a fair bit
i have another bonnet so ill cut a hole in it see how we go :twisted:

Being an ex-wood machinist, I can now see where Mr Norman got the idea from.... looks just like a 'plane head' with four blade tools. VERY KOOL! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Thanks for the (excuse the pun.. :roll: )...dare I say it..."inside info" :x :oops: :roll: :lol: :lol:

hi there
mine has springs in side the blower to hold the blades out
but if you are hard reving eg over 6000 you should remove them as they will come out
