The Motor is here and it is ohhhhhhhh so close, looks like I will have to cut out for the caps.. The heads both fit totally inside the cowl, it's just with the offset of the motor, that the caps will have to be cut out on the left side, maybe not on the right.. Not a big deal with me at all considering...
You can see in the pics that the motor fits in the cowl at the narrower aft end, with the caps on I will have to turn it a bit to get it on, it gets wider pretty quick with the big cheeks.. The manual is pretty much no help when mounting the motor, the text in the pic is all you have to go on...lol
Pics 4-5 Now you see it now you don't.........
I checked the firewall and it has Right hand thrust and some down, so i think the center marks that they have on the opening for fuel tank are the ones to go by.. The upper mark is true center that I put on... I slipped the cowl on and you can see in the pick that the hole lines up with the spinner hole....
Thoughts on this please.
The motor is 145mm from the back plate to the hub and the manual calls for 155mm, so i need about 3/8" for spacers.. The more I am thinking about it, I'm thinking of wrapping the whole firewall box with carbon fiber plate.. I can add another full 1/4" firewall andpin theoriginal firewall and thenwrap thewhole box including the front with CFplates.. The ignition will be mounted on the box, does anyone see a problem with this? I'm not worried about weight, this thingwill still be in the 14 pound range with all the beefing up. Strength is more important to me...
