We have already supplied a number of trim pump conversions, we stock two sizes one suitable for bravo's and small tabs.....

Do you know approximate weight differences between stock and your style Bravo pump? Are the trim speeds comparable?

Hi Ziemer,
The trim pumps are around 4lbs per unit lighter, the no load speed is about the same, as the pressure increases because the motors have more torque the flow doesn't drop of as much as the standard bravo unit.

Hi All,
The reinforcement is now bonded to the tab and the final shaping is complete, just need the top weave applying and lacquering then they will be ready for installation.

Very nice - I take you make body panels for race cars out of CF as well.

Finally got round to fitting the tabs they are 7" longer than the kiekhaefer 380's and one third of the weight and because the cylinder has a much better mechanical advantage adjustment it is much smoother and more accurate.

What about the carbin fibers lifespan. I read the F1 teams put their carbon fiber stuff thru flex tests to see how many flex cycles it can endure before having a failure?

Excellent workmanship... kudos...rm
