Fording kit mast - Help

Post by lucianom38a1 »

Hello Fellows,

I recently imported the fording kit for my 1951´ M38, but however I still without the mast (metal suport rad) that supports the inlet air pipe (that don´t came with the Kit)
This fording kit are composed by the pipe, and all the brackets and screws to fix the pipe at the Mast.
Well, now I´ll try to do this mast by myself.
Could somebody help me with the dimensions of this pipe?? I saw in a forum document that the total lenght is 57"
There is a complete draw of this?

Regards,

Luciano

Ken,

Great material! Is exactly what I'm looking for.
Now, I just need to find a good 1" tube and a couple of beers!!

OKCM38CDN, first I'll try to make it by myself. Other way, I'll contact Brent Mullins.

I'll post some pictures when I finish.

Thanks for all !!

This is the hose type original to the 1952 kit which came in a sealed crate.
