Alan, To 4 and 12 above. Fixed on P2125 by addittion of swirl tank. See pics in SPF section under "Upgrades to P2125) Steve

Alan, Fittings @ the MC's are 7/16X20 inverted flares to 4AN with crush washers to 4AN . Ya I like the blue too. I was the first to pick the colors used and was pleasently surprised when the factory agreed to pain to my specs. Steve P2125
