How much should I make the gap so that the fibreglass doesn't get scorched? I've got about 1/8" at the moment, enough? Regards, Clive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:12 AM PST US From: "flylightning" Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Clearance between cowling and exhaust pipe Clive, 1/8=94 should be ok. I would go with a =BC=94. Than you can get some =BC=94 thick PVC pipe and slide it over the tail pipe for a spacer, than lay glass from the cowl over the pipe to make a exhaust tunnel, looks really good.

Remember the engine will actually move around a little in flight as you pull Gs. Those rubber shock mounts really help to reduce any major vibrations from being transmitted to the fuselage, but they do allow the engine to move around some - as they were designed to do. The exhaust tunnel that Nick mentioned really does look nice and gives a great finished look. Might even add at least 50 knots. ;-) Buz **************Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.

Much like a Cirrus exhaust or something. Didn't some Esqual's use the same type of material that you wrap headers for your car on the inside of the cowl in tight spots by the exhaust to keep from bu bbling the paint? Brian W.
