NICE write up!
NICE write up!
Terrific write-up, very detailed and great pics.
When I installed my Volant I fiddled around the with new breather hose and thought that it was too long, so naturally I trimmed just a bit too much off and now the engine cover pinches it a little. Does your engine cover pinch the breather hose? I imagine that I could find a replacement 3/8" hose at an auto store in case I want to re-do that.
Also, I thought the breather hose was a little loose where it attached to the intake tube. Did you need a clamp for that?
I think the Torx screw for removing the factory air box was a T-27, if I remember correctly.
No clamp for the engine connection on the breather hose. But I do plan to check it at the end of the week to make sure it didn't slip/flex off.Originally Posted by MDGeeTee
We had to work on routing the house a few times to get it right so the engine cover didn't pinch it. It is a very tight fit under there. My kit came with the longer hose (newer kit) of 21 inches, which seems just about right. I did push the hose basically all the way to the base of the nipple on the Volant provided air intake tube.
Thanks on the torx!

Great thread ... installed my Volant this evening right after work ... had it done by dinner time by following these great instructions ...
I need to take pics of the clear acrylic cover I had made for my Volant and post.
