    The vibration is now 99% GONE. Over 5,000 rpm it is as smooth as the 582 on the MKIII, between 5,000 and 4,600 you can feel it just a little. The support bracket is welded to a base that is clamped securely to the the beefy end of the spar carrythrough. Rubber hangars are the usual ones from Advance Auto Parts. I got the tapered cone from Jegs hot rod supplies for $33. A lot cheaper than getting one from Rotax... The length for the cone came from an old LEAF catalog, used the muffler inlet diameter & exhaust ball socket outlet diameter to claculate the cone length & taper, must have got it right, it runs perfect and the EGT's are good. This whole rig might actually be just as light or lighter than the original hang-it-off-the-head arrangement. Surprisingly it is not any noiser. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and Grace really is amazing.
