Bruce, I remember that climb ! Our RN with the front tank did a stutter or two, but made it and if I remember correctly, the club's president (or such) couldn't get his modern to start for the return journey.
It was a super day out. Of course, the RP does have its fuel tank slung underneath at the rear, some way away from the fury of the engine, and I suppose a 4 speed box as opposed to the RN's 3 speed could help.
Its just too hot to muck about in the workshop at the moment to make an extended exhaust pipe shield and the exhaust tape is due to arrive next week.
