Jerry,

I have a Renesis.  I am planning on a radiator underneath, not sure
which brand etc.... just trying to bite off little chunks at a time.
;-)

I would like to order a oil pan and oil pickup.
Thanks,
Paul



Paul, the pan depth can be greater or shallower depending on how much
room you have.  I suggest you ask Paul Lamar to model the pan for
your particular installation.  He will need to know  the depth of the
firewall and the engine thrust line.  Jerry

I did not do a 3D on Paul's Glass Star so I don't know
how deep it can be. As I recall he has a motor mount.
He must decide where he is going to put the rad.

The rad is going underneath.  No S-beam so we can gain a little oil
pan volume.  I was hoping that k11 could provide enough info to just
look at the depth of the pan.  I am filing all this info so the next
time we see a Glass Star,  I won't have to ask for another drawing.
I guess it could be mocked up.  Level the plane, measure down from
the pan flange to see how much space there is to the bottom of the
cowl.   Jerry
