Next flip the plug over and send the spot drill back in to a depth of 1.5mm so we are left with 1mm at 3.6mm.

    get a boot lace and some autosol and gently polish the port to just knock off any edges pulling the bootlace thru the port.

    If all the theory we are reading is correct this may end up being the ultimate port, if it is drop it in to be drawn up and get the plugs made.

    Im thinking something like a 300s seal that allows the barrel to actually touch the port is the way to go or an O ring much like a posted a pic of earlier.

    Also remembering that recess that gained you 20fps+ it may be worth machining the plug to 6.5mm depth for TP but the TP is 6mm with the recess 0.5mm like you did before...

    I may sketch this up later

    Tony any objections if I use a fine taper reamer & a small radius cutter as opposed to the spot drill & countrsink? email me the drg & I'll knock it out...What are we going to do with the other two plugs guys?...VOTE NOW........LINES CLOSE MONDAY AT MIDNIGHT! Calls cost nothing but some suggestions may be laughed at & ridiculed in public.

    Okay I'll go!

    Dave I do not feel a taper reamer will be tapered enough, Im thinking something like 5mm down to 3.6mm over 3.5mm length then 1mm at 3.6 opening out for the last 1.5mm, a tapered reamer will just not have enough angle to it unless you have a seriously tapering reamer to hand?

    The radius cutter...yep what ever you have to hand.

    After you do this one I have another idea on a longer port..so save one back, im thinking of adding in the Bernoulli effect also to see if we can gain some extra air for free...much like filling a 6ft long paper bag with 1 breath however it may need a valve of some kind which I will chat to you about first.

    Seven degrees of divergence is about 1mm expansion in a length of 10mm. So if the part of the TP that is to be taper bored is say 3mm diameter and 3mm long then it will need to be opened out to 3.3mm dia at the exit. You're probably right, this is more than a taper reamer would give you.

    How about turning a piece of silver steel with the desired taper, file it off to half diameter, harden and temper. Hey presto a D bit in no time.

    Can you remember how difficult it was to do a taper? I really had trouble with this! HANGS HIS HEAD, SLOPES HIS SHOULDERS & WALKS TOWARDS THE DOOR SHAKING HIS HEAD MUTTERING WORDS UNREPEATABLE!

    Okay gone on then I'll do it!

    I vote for adding some Zephyr style grooves to the face of the plug, then experimenting with groove shape, v shape, rounded, tapering away from the port etc?

    Cheers

    Making the D bit, for the small amount you need to take off, I'd risk the cardinal sin of filing on the lathe, rather than tipping the top slide over. If you fluff it, have another go.

    Yeah, zephyr grooves, but you need a port (i got a few fps extra when I tried this, but not a lot)...

    Mote is a 2mm thick 25mm OD washer stuck in the end of the comp tube, with a nicely radiused port, 4mm should be fine. Radius can be quite wide/deep as the port vol is so low.. would only be around 0.5mm of parallel sided port in there (after the entry porting).
