I will be arriving at Monument Valley Sunday mid afternoon, with Herr Weis,
and Dennis Kirby. Have reservations for a tent camp site, and plan on
eating at the lodge. Looking forward to seeing all.

Doug;
I did this conversion 3 years ago and several additional changes are
required.
You need a new prop as it now turns in the opposite direction and can be
increased to 72".Use a 21/2" spacer.
The throttle is also reversed action and requires changing.
You need new mounting supports (2X2X1/4 angle)
You can use the same Lord mount positions on the MKIII frame but you need to
increase the size of the units to 200# size
The radiator is separately mounted.
You need a new oil cooler and a place for the big oil sump.
There are additional things you can do but look up my WebPages
www.webcom.com/reynen under tech info page for additional tips on reverse
mounted carbs

I puzzled over how to do this in a simple way so that one would not have to re
balance the propeller. My cutting fixture can be seen at:

It seems to work well and is inexpensive.

Why is the spacer costing you that much, ours came with the engine/prop kit
or are you short cutting here.

Got a call from John H. this morning. He was forced down on a small field south
of Ardmore, OK., by high winds, and was hoping to continue on this afternoon.
He says the weather's great, aside from the pesky wind. See ya day after tomorrow,
John. Lar.
