On the Carb heat mod Richards advice is spot on. If you bought the kit
recently you will have the updated documentation from Skydrive. The purpose
of upgrading it to "Standard" is to save you the trouble of a SF9
application. Some of the other mods I am upgrading are very badly
documented so writing proper documentation is the main part of the work.
The oil thermostat mod 10179 presents a problem that I am about to try and
clear up. The mod is approved (all of type) and I was about to turn it into
a "Standard" mod when I learnt from Andy Draper that Francis had banned the
use of this valve as it did not "fail safe". This is curious as a) it was
Francis who signed of the mod and b) if you install it with the pipes the
appropriate way round I would say it did fail safe.
My own opinion is that you should progress as Richard suggests, put in your
SF9 and get on with it. The oil stat documentation is poor and the pictures
relate to a "Classic". I would be pleased if you let me know what you
propose in terms of mounting the stat so I can use this for an updated
"Standard" mod application.
I will TRY and progress both oil and water but getting any reply, even
confirmation that they have received a message, has been taking weeks
recently.
Merry X-mas to all.
