     I second that motion. I already have a stock B/H but I want a
    front cover that I can bolt up a barnes (or equivalent) dry sump
    pump and maybe we can figure out a way to use mags or one mag.

Tony, I agree with everything except the mag. Mag have problems on high
RPM engines. At least standard aircraft mags do. I've seen the problems
first hand. We never determined if it was, internal coil reluctance or
overheating. We couldn't reliably get over 5000 rpm.

Bill,

That's good to know, I'm not a advocate of Mags but understand those who do.

I'd much prefer a ring type generator of the type used in Motorcycles with
external Regulator. Perhaps fit one in both ends for redundancy.

Perhaps Larry has something like that in mind.
