    I found this rather information packed web page on the 20B that may be
of interest to members of the list. Even has a parts and price list (Yen)

Interesting site. The link at the top jumps to "20B AEROPLANE ENGINES."
There are 3 engines pictured. The middle one is an Atkins modified 20b which
is not for aircraft use, but is for an air boat. Yes, it drives a prop, but
notice
that big black pipe in the back? it is the return for the water used to
cool the
engine ... water that comes from and is returned to the lake. Not that great
for aircraft use. Dave Atkins does plenty of mods for aircraft, but the one in
the photo is not.

Also listed is the address for Grant Nichols in New Zealand. That is where
I got
my 20b, but if I had to do it all over I would just buy one already rebuilt
from Dave Atkins. It would have been simpler and cheaper.

Cheers,
David
