Question for you Pod Guys

[David Beard]

I'm in the process of converting to pods and have a couple quick 
questions. Number one, is it necessary to get block off plates for the 
reed valves or can I just put a crank case filter on the breather hose?

Second, what have you guys done with the "drain' hole on top of the 
tranny that the airbox attached to? Did you plug it or leave it open?

Any help would be appreciated as always. Got the carbs and airbox off 
and am just waiting to see if I can go pick up a crank case filter or if 
I'll have to wait till I can get some block off plates.

Thanks!
