My hat's off to Wacker Engines!
I recently ordered parts from Peter Faith. They are for a Homelite 45cc conversion. He sent me mounts, prop adapter, velocity stack, and muffler. I paid under $100 for all of them, including shipping. The parts arrived 10 days after I sent my money order, and I am thouroughly impressed with his craftsmanship. Peter was very easy to talk to on the phone, and tell me what all I needed for the conversion. I assembled the engine today, and all parts fit perfectly. Thank you Mr. Faith, and Wacker engines. I wouldn't hesitate to order from you again. Great service and a great product!

I second that!
He recently made a prop adapter for my Ryobi 26cc 4 stroke that fits like a glove and looks like a million bucks.....always helpful and courteous.

RE: My hat's off to Wacker Engines!
I ordered two mounting plates, two mufflers, two venturis and a prop hub from him late last year. The prices seemed very fair. Upon receiving the items I noticed the prop hub and venturis were very well made, the mufflers were fairly nice but the mounting plates sucked! The mounting plate's sides were not square to each other and the sides were not straight either...very poor craftsmanship. Fortunately I am done converting engines and won't be needing anymore parts.

RE: My hat's off to Wacker Engines!
Homelite 25cc airplane mounts use a simple flat plate that is 3 1/4" x 3 3/4". Sorry, I don't have any pictures to 'back up my claim' (ROTFLMAO). I have NO reason to lie about this. They were very poorly made or made in a REAL big hurry.
Both plates were squared up by me on my table saw, sandblasted and then sold on engines I converted. In the future if I need any more mounting plates I'll cut out my own as I have a source for 1/4" 6061 T6 aluminum plate scraps.
FWIW...I will buy Bennett mufflers from other sources instead of buying Peter's mufflers, too.
You get what you pay for.
