Does anyone know where I can buy an adapter that will allow me to use a berkley place diverter and/or possibly a droop and diverter?

......a jacuzzi wj...right...?
If that is the case Place sells a nozzle adapter. Go to Place Diverter (http://www.placediverter.com./) click "diverters" from the menu and scroll to the bottom of the page.

oops sorry guys! Yep thats right, 455 Olds with a jacuzzi wj - stock.
Would really like to get an adapter that will allow the use of a droop, but if not I'll take the berk. adapter.

[n8dawg]

still looking for an adapter! And lets say that I had an adapter that allowed me to bolt a berkley diverter onto a jacuzzi wj. Could I also bolt on a droop? Doesn't a droop and diverter share the same bolt pattern?
Any help would be great. My season is not over and would really like to see what a diverter does to help the performance of the boat.
Thanks

NO. The diverter does not "bolt on". It connects with the same type of pins that your existing steering nozzle does. The adapter sold by Place for the WJ (you have followed my link to their site to look at it, right? :) ) is designed to bolt up to the WJ bowl on one side and has the steering pivot pin bosses on the other. Kind of a combo of the WJ steering adapter(bolt side) and the Berkeley split bowl steering adapter(steering side).

You might try contacting "wsuwrhr (http://www2.***boat.com/forums/member.php?u=124) " here on Hot Boat. I seem to recall he was working on something along the lines of what you would need to run a droop.
OK, just so you can see what the place adapter looks like.....it's there on the left. Bolts to your WJ bowl and has the steering socket and pin bosses for a Berkeley.

NOTE: I am "assuming" that this item allows the use of a "Berkeley-spec" diverter on the WJ. It is possible that their WJ diverter is different than the Berkeley. You need to call and ask. They are quite helpful.

I make an adapter to mate Berk style diverters and add-ons(wedges, droops ect)to the WJ bowl.
I'll see if the image center still has the picture of my bowl so you can see what I am talking about.
