Mattndew76 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 No you use your NPT plugs from the stock unit. I will be machining plugs that are also the remote cooler leads, but those will be sold separately. Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 The R160 prototype is completed. Nice work.. I would be down for one for an R180. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 R180 is on the machine now. Had to make some final edits to the Solid. R160 Has some new features. I didnt like how the Proto turned out so I made some adjustments. Quote Link to comment

510T Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I noticed some chatter on the Realm about inserts. I have been running coarse thread bolts in my cover in lieu of studs for years, and have had no problems. Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm not going to make it standard. Extra costs extra. So the covers come standard with M12x1.75 tapped holes. Inserts will be more $$ Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The first two R160's are packaged up and ready to ship. I have the R180 op-1 started, but my hip surgery was Thursday and I'm kinda layed up for a bit. I did however get a 930-CV adapter designed up today. So I offer Type-2 , and 930 adapters now. I have a list of things to get done while on light duty. •finalize the Grp-24 battery tray •R190 design •accelerator pedal design • Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 There probably aren't enough r190s out there for you to spend your time on making a cover. Racing guys prefer r180s over the 190s. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have 3-R190 customers. Don't want to ignore those guys. So I am ok putting the time in for uncommon gear. 1 Quote Link to comment
