I'm pretty sure you can mix and match parts if the basic unit is the same - if the front end of the scimitar unit is more easily adaptable, you could use it with the flanged output from the Triumph unit if that is the easiest to adapt.

I'm hoping to connect to the output casing without welding a flange on so that will be interesting. Maybe I should be looking for a different output but plan on welding on a flange - something to consider I suppose.

Hi Mart, I'm hoping that there is some swapability in the parts. Gavin was also looking at using a J-Type, so maybe we should compare notes next year?

Maybe someone has an opinion?

Thanks, I use AutoCAD at work, although not full-time. I have not done any 3D work on it yet - we also have Solidworks for compatibility with a customer, but I do not have access to that software. Would you be prepared to share the AutoCAD files with others for reference? I would fully understand if you prefer not to, as I appreciate the amount of work that will have gone into creating them.

Cheers, Andy
