Is there a reed block which fits without the fettle onto a rapido barrell?

will the mb and lth ones not fit ok....by fettling do you mean not removing fins?...as you will need to take out a quite bit of metal to get it to fit the barrel

Yep not removing fins, thought I seen a small reed block can't remember who made em.

AF's fit the LTH ones to theirs and they do require the fins trimming and a boost port cutting into the cylinder and they are pretty small. I think even the od style DJ reedblocks for standard type cylinders required trimming the fins,cheers,Speedy.

MB, LTH, Atomic all require ...fettling to the block

Even the atomic yes? As this one I was told is small enough for a straight fit.

The MB and the large atomic ones need quite a bit of fin area removed to fit, the smaller Atmoic and the LTH still need a small amount removing but not enough that it'd be a problem should you wish to return to piston port at a later date.

I've fitted a small Atomic one to a Mugello225 barrel, I removed more from the manifold itself than the fins. If I remove it you'd do well to spot that I've taken anything off the fins.
