Engine Diaper Fix Needed

Pony Pilot · 05-31-2013, 07:07 AM

I run a '70 Mustang with a 351C with Hooker Super Comp headers in SST. I bought one of Summit's universal engine diapers to meet class requirements. Problem is, one tube on the driver's side hugs the block closely, making a melted mess on the tube and burning holes in the side of the diaper. I wrapped the tube with the DEI high temp wrap--no help. I had a new strap sewn on over the winter and a double layer of leather sewn over the area, along with the high temp wrap--still no help. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks for any tips you guys are willing to share,
