| Subject: | CS Prop plus SD20 |
Cheers,
First, a very Happy Christmas to those who still celebrate the
event - and a bright new unused 2007 for your success!
Down to business - I may have asked before but cannot remember - a
daily event:
I plan on adding a B&C SD20 alternator to the 914, which is destined
to receive a Woodcomp CS prop through the same driveshaft area, and wish to
avoid any interference to either.
Is there someone in similar circumstances who might advise me, yea
or nay?

Fergus,
It seems that the 914 drive doesn't spin fast enough for the SD20 to
produce the rated power.
How about leaving the prop governor on the top pick-up pad, and
installing the alternator at the rear of the engine, like in
http://contrails.free.fr/elec_second_alternateur.php ?
The Europa certainly has enough room below the cowl, since the original
idea came from Europa builders Jim Butcher and Jim Nelson.
Season's greetings
Regards,
Gilles

I think Gilles idea is best, Jim Nelson did this years ago but he sold
his Florida Europa. Bob Berube might help you? You could use a Nipodenso
alternator, I suspect that's what B&C do anyway.
may the world be gentle in 2007.

| Subject: | Nut, washers on starter? |
Fellow Europaphiles:
I just hung the engine. I can find no information on the nut,
washer, lock washer needed to attach the electrical connection from
the starter solenoid to the starter. I'd appreciate any assistance
in pointing me to the appropriate page of the build or engine
installation manual or other document with this information. Were
they supplied with either the main kit or the engine installation
kit? No doubt it they are metric bits so I won't have anything on
hand in the parts bin to use. I'm sure I can order them from
Lockwood or McMaster-Carr if I can get the proper specs.
Any help would sure be appreciated.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger

Hi Bob,
In the original package was a box marked 914, and that contained amongst other
goodies the nuts and washers for the starter relay. There are also some small
pins and seal to connect the ignition off leads in the plug on the ignition boxes.
There is also an empty (no pins) connector for the voltage regulator. Hope
you find that box :-)
Kind Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
