Cool, thank you Scott.
I'm a Optimist. I'll try this stand head.

Thanks for you efforts paul.
I think the stand head is mounted on the side of the front housing.

Thomas Rebhan

OK that is a different matter.
One thing I don't understand and I am curious about.
Why do you need the info before you get the engine?

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.


Well, things are a little bit complicated.
I have to store the engine in my fathers garage because I have no room at my present domicile.
I want to manage some things before the engine arrived, so I can conclude everything on one weekend.

Kind Regards
Thomas
