Problem with that was if you got a puncture it would damage it. The later design is (as you say) for the caliper to be more or less in line with the swinging arm. Bit more aerodynamic too. To achieve the new position the caliper mounting/ back plate angle is changed but sadly the three bolt holes in the plate are not compatible - as you said, rotating the old plate puts the caliper too high up. It needs to rotate about 90 deg but the holes are of course 120 deg apart. Best thing is to buy a new plate from the factory which will have the new hole pattern. I did that some years ago and fitted it when I next had the wheel out - 5 minute job with the wheel out. I don't remember it costing too much. I don't know if it's possible to re-drill the old one - I didn't bother. It might be the holes would be too close, even overlapping?? -------- G-TERN Classic Mono Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=318548#318548 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:51:18 AM PST US From: "David Joyce" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Is cabin heat required in UK? is so how to do it Graeme, In 8 yrs/800hrs of Europa flying, including going up to the North Cape (71 deg N) I have never felt the need. If you are in comfortable out of wind outdoor clothing you will be comfortable or too hot (if sun out) in the Europa. The firewall is permanently warm for keeping feet OK!

If so, would you be interested in renting it to me over the winter as I have a bit of a space issue right now.
