I was looking for a pic of the coolant reservior and fillcap etc?? Did i miss it or do you have it hidden somewhere. Did you build that throttle linkage or is that from fox? I love your door latches. Stopped in at merle williams in phoenix one day and he has a kit that he m akes to widen the doors and give you all kinds of shoulder room.=C2- May build one of those some day but alot of the time i'm flying doors open on t he ranch anyway...

Some of what I did: - Prop depends mostly on your budget. The only difference is weight and looks. They all perform the same. I used a Warp 3-blade 70". - My oil cooler is an Earl's 21608AERL off Amazon. You can go smaller if you want. (Mine's 5" high. I think you can go 3", depending on location. I 'm in the US desert southwest.) - 582 radiator will work. - Engine mount is made yourself or buy from Kitfox Aircraft. If you buy from Kitfox Aircraft you'll have slight clearance problem between the start er and the firewall right foot well. I made a stainless blister to clear it . Some make their own motor mounts, moving the engine forward a little to m ake the install easier. I wanted my engine as far back as possible so the K itfox LLC mount was fine. - I had the old GRT EIS. I sent it in to Grand Rapids and they "refurbis hed" it to a model 2000 for $149 in March 2011. I had to buy some more sens ors too. - I extended my forward cowl (radial type) 2" so it would be right behin d the spinner. You don't have to. I had an oil door on the top cowl that I moved as well. - What else you need depends a lot on what you get with the engine. You may need: - Oil tank (Rotax) - Voltage regulator (Rotax) - Exhaust system (Kitfox LLC) - All the crap to put it together. Sorry, I don't have prices for any of this stuff readily available and the y'd all be ancient history anyway. Feel free to post "for sale" on this site, but you'll get more interest o n Barnstormers. Inquire on Team Kitfox for parts and accessories, as well a s here. Some pictures of my install before and after here: https://b-and-n.smugmu g.com/Flying/Kitfox/ Good luck!
