Thank you for the kind replies!
Jim,
Thank you for the welcome.
Bob,
I have been reading your posts on europaowners.org and have found your conversion
album most helpful in picturing what I need to do. What was even funnier
was I read your posts before I went down to Bud's shop and then when I walked
in the room with the tile floor I knew that is where your conversion was done!
It's a good thing I don't live near Bud, I believe I would be bugging him all
the time. I could spend hours just looking around.
Steve,
I live in Trussville, AL just to the East of Birmingham.

Hi Guys,
Just did some service work on a 912S , and had to drop the coolant out of i
t to change a hose, the coolant was that Evans NFG.
What I saw was severe corrosion on the alloy stubs on the Rotax and radiato
r,and inside the cadmium plated steel Tee piece used to splice the carb' he
ater into the system [ as in red rust on the steel and flaking white ''powd
er'' on the alloy] ?
I have never been convinced about this Evans NFG, will try to get the owner
to go to 50/50 antifreeze/water.....................
