| Subject: | November List Fund Raiser |
A couple of years ago I implemented an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for
the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes
a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will
instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month!
Its just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance.
Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept
exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Larry,
Correct, not the muffler! Just the Muff on the outside of the muffler can for cabin
heat
The flanges for the scat tubing themselves from ACS are aluminum and with continuous
air flow aluminum should be ok.
Not trying to be cheap just frugal. I can make a few things and it saves hundreds
of dollars if not more.
Thanks for the comments.
Rich

Rich,
I should have pointed you to the construct that I did. It works well and
I've only got 3/8 to 1/2-inch clearance from the muffler
for airflow. No baffles inside either. Just the hard rings at the ends
to support the wrapper.

Since you have a water cooled engine, why didn't you just run the
bypass lines through a heater core in the cabin? That would just about
eliminate any risk of carbon monoxide in the cabin from an exhaust
leak. You would also have a smaller penetration through the firewall.

Bryan,
I could easily take the heat directly from the radiator into the cabin,
but the heat muff keeps hot air out of my belly mounted radiator which
improves
engine cooling by 7-degrees F. The 1-1/2-inch hole in the firewall is
no real penetration nor worry as far as fireproofing goes. Carbon
monoxide is also
a non-issue as it's monitored at the panel. I get a 20-degree lift in
near freezing temps from my existing setup, so it works for me and is
low maintenance.
