Paul,
            Finally got the photos requested. Not good but fair considering I was
 hanging off the top of a ladder.  Neil.

 The pictures look great Neil.
 You did a wonderful job. Jeff's motor plate and spacers look great.
 Nice ram air box. All around good job.

 Neil,
 Looking good! Do you have enough clearance for the stock cowl? Can you shoot a couple
 pics showing the radiator(s)?
 Looks very neat.
 Regards,
 Herb, Glastar/Rotary builder.

 If you need more clearance under the stock cowl you can do something like this.
 This is the old Schertz beam mount but it will work with Jeff's motor plate as well.
 Aircraft engines are always twice as wide as a rotary therefore there is always room
 along side the rotary. That is why it is a good idea to put the rad on the cool spark
 plug side.

Neil,

I forwarded your photos to our local EAA chapter president who is finishing the build
on his Glastar Sportsman 2x2. He thought your installation looked "clean and
professional" which I interpret as high praise from his perspective as a senior P&W
engineer. He was curious to know what your all-up (fluids on board) FWF & ramp
weights are. He also wondered whether you might have a couple of photos with your
cowl in place. I've looked for the items I've asked about on the site archives with
no success. If what I've asked about has already been posted, please excuse my
inability to find them (my wife says if whatever I'm looking for doesn't resemble a
mayonnaise jar, there is little hope of my finding it.)

Thanks,

Jack Hilditch
