From: "ianwilson2" Thank you all for your input, especially Craig for all of the alternative links and to Pete who passed my email to GRT - and guess what, I had a response from Sandy! It's good to know that some of you have had a good response to their queries/problems. It gives me more confidence. I now need to sit down at my computer and calculator and work out what's going to work best for me - I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

The 3300 one looks a LOT more substantial in that the length of the skirt is longer and thus grips the shaft a lot better, I'll bet. I've been thinking of making my own rotors for awhile now, or at least modify the skirts of existing ones. If my present method of drilling holes in the skirts and using epoxy doesn't hold for at least 200 hrs, I will. When I was racing cars, I used a Vertex magneto, and their rotors had 3 point-tipped screws in the skirt. These pointed screws went into a v-shaped groove in the shaft, and were safety wired in place. No lost rotors at 6500 crank speed, but then it would have taken several 8- second dragstrip runs to accumulate 200 hrs. : ) Lynn Matteson Grass Lake, Michigan Kitfox IV Speedster w/Jabiru 2200 flying w/470+ hrs On Feb 13, 2008, at 2:36 AM, James, Clive R wrote: > On Yahoo Jabiru engine group and attached are some pictures of the > arms > for the 2200 and 3300 as most folk won't have seen both types, The > 3300 > looks to have a lot more substantial fitting and from what's been > posted > here and on Yahoo doesn't have the same issues at the 2200 (clip > failing, falling off, gluing recomendation). > > For the 2200 the two plastic 'rivets' can be seen.
