Folks,
I have an AFP throttle body (FM 200) that has the mixture control arm on the left side. The problem is the left Vent SCAT hose runs very close to the control arm and will most likely vibrate into it over time which will eventually wear a hole in the SCAT -- the hose is installed exactly per the plans with only one intermediate support off of Cyl 2 induction pipe. So the way I see it I have 2 options:
1. RTV some baffle or similar material over the potential wear area to act as anti-chafe, or
2. Add another SS clamp to hold the SCAT off the mixture arm -- the big problem here is the only 2 viable locations to anchor the clamp are both off the exhaust itself (off of one of the bolts holding the riser to the collector or off of one of the three bolts holding the collector to the muffler). I'm concerned that the heat transfer through the clamp would be too hot for the SCAT.
Anyone with an AFP FI system faced this same issue?
