Re: Konrad Conversion

Poorsche,

Re: Konrad Conversion

Make sure to keep the wires and hydraulic lines clear and free when mating the assembly up. I stuffed those trim wires from post 12 inside the exhaust port. As you can see you need to carfully route...

Re: Konrad Conversion

Re: Konrad Conversion

So you may have noticed the wires back in post 12. Those are for the trim, which I'm not using because I have mechanical indicators. If you ARE using these then you need to either figure out how to...
