This is in response to George Lendich's desire to use a 13B in the

Vision.

I have talked to Steve Rahm in the past couple of weeks and was told that
the 300 lb. limit is mainly due to weight and balance considerations.

The

higher weight of the 13B can be accommodated if you can offset it for the
proper CG.  Also, Racing Beat in California produces aluminum

intermediate

and side housings for the 13B.  They are somewhat pricey (approx.
$1200/each) but you could save at least 45-50 lbs. with these parts.

Dave,
Thanks very much for the info, I've spoken to Steve also but not
specifically on the
13b, but weight and balance limitations in general.
Dave, I have to very realistic in regard price as what costs you one dollar
cost me 2,
plus delivery and things can get out of hand very quickly. I'm also aware of
the
off-setting of weight rearward, a thank you to whoever that was.
I'm trying to maintain the KISS principle, as much as possible.
Again thank you for your thoughful response
