PVAK for EBC 836

Post by braedenheld »

Has anyone tried installing a PVAK system on their Eastman 836, I have really enjoyed having it on my Yamaha 822 and wanted to do the same for my 836. I have been in contact with Alan, he has not gotten his hands on one of these horns to measure yet. Anyone on here try their hands at it?

Thanks,
Braeden

The simplest way is to take it to a repair tech. Have them measure the thickness needed to be in alignment, then go to your local hardware store and buy nylon washers or O rings that are the right thickness. If you can't find any that are the correct thickness, get a thinner set and use washers underneath.
