Another question. I got a Hyde mount for my Valiant and a Central Hobbies nose ring. The nose ring has about 1/32 inch slop all around the engine. I have contacted Central Hobbies, YS and Mr Hyde to info on how to fix this. Central Hobbies was kind enough to build me a nose ring with the o ring replaced by small fuel tubing. YS says they wrap the engine with a special YS teflon tape. Has anyone else encountered this situation and how did they fix it.
Thanks

John,

You can build the clearance up yourself for a fraction of the cost of the YS Teflon tape. Mc Master Carr carries the exact same stuff. It is sticky backed (silicone high temp adhesive) Teflon skived tape. St Gobain is the manufacturer. They have a website
