Re: 1930 Elto Senior Speedster "Grab Bar"

quote Buccaneer:

It’s a shame to think someone defiled the Elto by cutting
off the cross strut just to add that little tin box on the intake.
Hood scoops looked rad on Super Bee’s, etc., back in the day,
but doesn’t do much for this Elto. 😕

it may have been a spray shield – I’ve run motor/boat configurations where the prop wash makes that location a wet one under certain conditions – or maybe there’s some cooling water leakage doing something similar

and T2 ain’t kidding about the fuel inlet fitting – I’ve wrecked one carb overtightening that fitting instead of going for more packing
