Good luck Futz. I did a few small things to mine over the summer but never really jumped in. I'm in the proccess of building a dolly to get it into the garage this winter for the flowcoat. I would like to see pics of the intake being reset. I can't tell from the pics but so you have the short pod? Keep us posted. Maybe a few posts on the SW site might pick it up around that place some :-) Good luck R.B.
