Couple of questions. What kind of airplane? Yes it uses the early
7 bolt cartridge. You will need a bracket to bolt the pump
and the alternator to the left side of the airplane where
the stock AC compressor goes. You will need somebody to tig weld
for you. I can get that done for people if they order it
when they order the pump. My guess is around a $30 welding
charge. Depends on what kind of plumbing you want to use.
Hose, AN or wiggins.

It's a LongEZ. The engine was built and the waterpump installed by
David Atkins. I was planning on relocating the
alternator anyway per your bracket drawings. I assume that this
combo will use a different bracket? It would be great
if you could do the fabrication for me since I don't have equipment
for it. Go ahead and put me down for one.

I want to know more about the remote pump, it looks like it would solve
some plumbing problems.
I too was out of the circle for several months after I changed ISP
(received only a couple messages a month for about 6 mo), will be changing
again and hope it goes better this time.
I would like to know if I could still use the air conditioner compressor and
the remote water pump? Would like to use A/C in the southwest heat.
Also, what do you do to the front housing to use this remote pump.
Air craft is a Cozy and want to use hose connections.

Not likely Wendell. About the only place for it is on the
left side.
BTW Yet another advantage of a rotary engine for aircraft use.
Cheap air conditioning.
