    Jay--Thank you for the reply. Not trying to redesign the CLE,is it possible to make the 2 intake holes bigger then add a screen. I appreciate your input. I do run T&P gauges. Thank you

    Need to weld up the 2 holes and redrill 4 or 5 a bit smaller holes. Copy the Bob’s nose cone.
    Common problem here on LI with 2 hole units and weed.
