Ive seen several sagging RevFlow injectors mounted on VW-based engines. The typical installation involves just a length of rubber intake coupling between the injector and the intake manifold stub. The longer the rubber tubing, the greater the sag that occurs. Ive also seen installation where there is elaborate bracketry to support the injector. Kind of required as there arent any mounting points cast into the injector body.
Today I ran across the image in the attachment from a ½ VW engine conversion. THOSE guys have NO fear! The builder wrapped the rubber tubing with what looks like aluminum sheet and then installed a single extra hose clamp mid-span. See photo. Looks like a simple solution to a common problem. Or am I overthinking this? Any reason why this might NOT be a good idea? John Bouyea N133RM KR-2S OR81/ Hillsboro, OR
