Beta 1505 replacement Zinc Max length?
Permalink  

After 10 months the engine Zinc needed replacement and I installed a replacement factory zinc.  

I also found some threaded zinc rods and they screw in nicely into the brass fitting BUT are about 2X longer then the factory zinc's.  

Are the longer Zinc's OK to use ie don't block something in the coolent passages?

See attached images of the new vs std zinc and also the 10 old zinc and factory zinc.

Jay just take a hack saw to the longer ones and make them the same as the shorter ones. The longer ones hit the back side of the heat exchanger. Svend's doesn't stock shorter ones.
