Bob - Thanks for the suggestion, and I may get what you advised asap, take a look in a minute. I purchased the Hatori Pipe, for tunnel, etc., then decided not to do it. They made that mod also. I talked to the guy's at Piedmont, they suggested the NR, with the Hyde mount. I saw a nose ring set up on I think, "Ed's Pattern Page", from SPA site. I did that, not exact, but close. I have taken some ribbing about it, but running with the cowl off, spool up, it seems to work, and a little bracing on the side's may be in order. Picture enclosed. I was concerned about the NR connected to the cowl, maybe too much flex at the cowl front?

Keep you posted on initial flight's, etc.
