    ejessee, You might think about wrapping your exhaust pipes also. It lowers the under cowl temps notably and adds an additional safety factor too. After I wrapped my 912S exhaust I felt much safer, and it starts quite well in the California desert heat.

    I replaced the Rotax carb-mounts with the JBM mounts two years ago and they have and are doing just fine. As you said "occom", JBM shipped promptly with a product that in every way matched the Rotax part at a competitive price. I would recommend them to anyone.

    What did you use to wrap your exhaust? What are others out there using (tho se that have also wrapped theirs)? I see exhaust wrap kits at around $50-65 a kit on-amazon.com - Phil H. --- On Thu, 7/21/11, ricklach <rick@ravenaviation.us> wrote: From: ricklach <rick@ravenaviation.us> Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: drip tray for 912UL with filters on the car b ejessee, You might think about wrapping your exhaust pipes also.

    You use header wrap cloth. It can be purchased from most automotive stores. Buy the 2" wide. It may be black or a tan color. You want to only wrap from where the exhaust pipe leaves the head and down to the top of the muffler. Do not wrap the muffler. You can go under the exhaust springs. Secure the top at the head with a hose clamp and another hose clamp under the exhaust springs with another clamp. The cloth around the knuckle under the springs will also keep any exhaust gas blow-by down. You only want to over wrap each spiral 3/8". Do not over wrap by an inch or more as that waill retain too much heat. The cloth needs to be damp, not wet when you wrap it and pull it snug as you go. When done start the engine and it will burn in. let it run for about 15 min. It may even smell like it is burning and may smoke a little when you shut it down, but it is a one time deal. It will be fragile after it is burned in so don't use any tolls or scrape it real hard. The header wrap Mfg states it will reduce temps by 70 %. I don't know if it's that much, but you can touch your exhaust after a shut down and not be burned. It will save your hoses and wires too. If you have any questions you can call me. I have done at least 50 planes with the wrap. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.
