Gday . This is just an initial observation. I've pulled a couple of lifters and they are shot. I've had a quick look at the cam through the crankcase and it looks fine. This is contrary to what I should see. Rotax 912 with 1800 hrs. I have no experience with these engines. I'm hoping to get another 1000 hrs out it. Will it respond well with just lifters ???. I'm just freshening up the top end with new orings. Everything is clean and the engine looks perfect. Thanks Lyndon
-
Makes perfect sense. Thanks Lyndon
-
I'm using the factory template. Happy with the diagonal on top. But the legs look to long and are not parallel with the row of rivets. By the manual at this stage it looks only the top is riveted.
-
Or it seems this can't be wrong. ???
-
Wing distance ????. 728 plus or minus 1mm. Measure from where. The front mount has two lugs and guessing the wing locates in the center. Distance between the front and rear lug. Or center of both. I only want to drill these once. Yep I want the wing to fit first time. Advice ???? Thanks Lyndon

I'm just thinking the engineering staff who designed this are a lot smarter than me
-
So the plates are on the outside. Then I have a nice edge inside for the cowling makes sense
-
Well if it's designed to be inside then that's what it will be . Thanks Lyndon
-
Ok I sorted the plates. Now I will look into where the cowel should be .
-
I realize this but why would one not put it on the outside. It just makes common sense like roofing tiles
-
Would make sense to put it on the outside surely for air flow
-
I'm mounting the four plates that reinforces the cowling mounts. The manual is just mumbo jumbo. I use the black rivets but where and why. Then it says use soft rivets but does not make sense where or why. Lyndon
-
No worries. Makes sense. Main concern is its clecoed up and some holes that I'm not using yet do over lap a bit. It's one of the very few bits that once are are joined you really can't get it wrong. I'm presuming they just weren't stamped quite perfect. Lyndon
-
Is that aimed at me or Dennis
-
No worries. I will go ahead with this riveting. I would rather wait a day than drill em out . Thanks Lyndon
-
Firewall issues. I'm not happy to rivet it up yet in case I have wrong. I don't believe I have but ???. Am I missing something. Quite a few don't line up. Also I take the bottom engine mounts have to be drilled at some stage as there is no corresponding holes in the sheet and the fire wall.
-
And blanked off holes
-
Firewall holes not quite right. It's together but the holes don't quite line up. Any tips. Lyndon
-
All sorted. Looks better on the inside. Will rivet it up today. Thanks for all the input. Lyndon
-
Apparently the floor can be on the top or bottom. Makes no difference. But aesthetically looks better on top. Lyndon
-
The pics I have are from Reg. Thus the floor on the bottom. Thus the way its been put together. ??? The manual is not clear. So maybe that is where the confusion is. Just because a build is a particular way doesn't mean it is correct. I'm new to this so I have no idea. I can see pros and cons with the floor on the bottom and inside. I will ask Reg to confirm. Thanks Lyndon
-
Does that refer to the front panels. I did read read that in the manual early in the piece. Once again I'm only going by the video supplied in the kit ??? All very confusing. Lyndon
-
Before I completely rivet it up some opinions please. Now is the time to get right. Thanks Lyndon
-
Once again on the outside. ??? Mmmm
-
As per Reg CD it's on the outside. That's what I went by
