Re: [FlyRotary] Re: Ed's new rotor housings
Hi, Buly.....perhaps I don't understand. If you removed the splitters from the Cosmo housings and replaced them with NA inserts, don't you still have splitters? I thought that the NA inserts had splitters, and the turbo did not?  Paul Conner

Rusty,
I removed the splitters from my Cosmo housings. They are held by two very hard roll pins. I started with smaller drill inside the pin and gradually go bigger bits until the pin spins out. It ain’t easy.
Than I fitted NA inserts in place from old housings that I gut up on a band saw to salvage the pins and te inserts.

The splitter is part of a steel insert that attaches to the rotor housing with (I think) a couple roll pins.  If I'm not mistaken you could probably swap these inserts to install the turbo version without the splitter.  From what I've read, simply grinding out the splitter ain't simple :-)
