Default OS 160 FX Pressure Tap

Hi Everybody,
The tank in my model in far from the firewall and, frequently, my OS 160 FX stop (naturally, during inverted flights ...).
I would like to install a Cline regulator.
Where to buy it ?
I have seen it's necessery to have a Pressure tap on the crankcase to use this device.
Is it necessary to modify the engine to install this crankcase Pressure tap ? How to proceed ?

Here's your pressure fitting.

Replaces the top left back plate retainer bolt.

Cline regulator

Iron Bay Regulator

The 160FX will do pretty good with a Perry pump instead of a Cline.

Enjoy,

Thanks W8ye for your help,
For which device have you a preference between Cline Regulator, Iron Bay Regulator and Perry Pump ?

The cline will not allow fuel flow unless the carb is sucking, perfect for inverted installs.

That's OK !
I will order and I will install the Pressure Tap and a Regulator.
I hope I will have no more flame out from my OS 160.
Thanks !

Thierry
