Kevin,

That is what I needed! Thanx!

Unfortunately, the WFO base doesn't drop quite as much as I had hoped. Given your two measurements, the shaker ring is 3/8" higher than the carb base. I was hoping it would actually be at the same height, or preferably even lower...

On my current setup, the shaker ring is 1" higher than the carb base, and I had hoped to get that down to even, if not even lower.

From an old email that I received from PTFB, their dimension from the carb base to the bottom (your first measurement) is 2", but their side height (second measurement) is minimum of 2.5" (they have 3 different heights available). So their setup puts the shaker right about 1/8" higher than the WFO.

It almost sounds like I need to buy the PTFB and cut 1/2 - 3/4" out of it to reposition the shaker ring down to where I need it to be. Since it has more drop, I will have more clearance on the air cleaner to shaker at the top side this way...

Thanx again for the help, I'll update here once i figure out the right solution!
