I measured everything again and definitely we have 10mm bolts going though a 11mm hole on the rotax ring mount (suspension frame). He said that it's OK per design to put the 10MM bolt into the 11mm hole on the ring mount and he has 10 year old aircraft with no signs of fretting to prove it. I guess it goes against every instinct - or at least my instincts - but there it is.

It seems to be a recommendation to achieve the best effect. Many of the 914-jockeys do have the battery installed in the baggage bay behind the seats (me too). That said, I wonder, if it makes a big difference between a conventional and a LiFePo Battery. On the other hand I don't have problems with the stock Rotax starter other than occasional kick backs on low/very low temperatures.

Roland, Hope you are well and ready for a new flying season? As you may have noticed my twin odyssey 13.5 amp hour batteries are mounted on the passenger foot well. I would guess all of 12" or (300mm in your speak) to the HD Starter. Never a kick back and an immediate start up without fail ......so long as you remember to switch the electric fuel pumps on ! I will never forget the hassle I had getting the Jabiru Six cylinder donkey to power up from the battery behind the seats ! Recommendations from all and sundry until I used my own brain on the issue !
