Ernest,
Found something useful also although probably only
useful to me...........Have been keeping my eye-out for
a way to exit my turbo exhaust further toward the rear of
the Delta rather than straight down from the engine
cowl..............Since the "Mistral" back-plate mount
frees up the space under the engine I have been looking
for a way to split the 3 inch turbo exhaust into 2
outlets that would straddle the nose-gear strut and allow me
to place the exhaust exits (2) behind the
firewall hopefully almost flush with the Delta belly between
the ribs
in concave thin stainless heat shields (maybe even allow
additional muffling) to reduce drag...........
Being naturally lazy I would rather scrounge up
something that I can adapt to my needs...........Came
across
the following C-47 (DC-3) radial engine exhaust segment
on E bay that will allow me to split the turbo 3 inch
exhaust into two 2.5 inch outlets..........It is
stainless and weights 3.7 lbs before I remove a 2 inch
outlet that I
do not need..............As a bonus it has a round
curve built in that will keep my bottom cowl from having any
drag producing lumps and bumps as it was for a radial
engine.............
