Your parts cost will be around $1000-$1200 for parts if you do it right. Depending on the shop and the plane type the total could cost with labor could cost any where from $2000-$4000. You can buy some things locally and will be the same as what you will buy from a Rotax distributor because they don't use Rotax parts for some things. Rotax doesn't supply everything. Time depends on the plane. it could be anywhere from a 1-2 days. All fuel and oil lines should be in fire sleeve. You should not use cheap serrated worm drive clamps like you use on a garden hose for fuel hoses. Use either Oetiker clamps or fuel injection clamps. These are both types of good sealing band clamps. The fire sleeve should have Band-It clamps, but an Oetiker band clamp will work. Don't use crap parts. Blow out each fuel line with air before the install. Throwing this together with parts from an hardware store and baling wire isn't the right way. It's your hide and your passengers hide that are on the line. If you do things the wrong way and try to cut too many corners and cause engine damage or an off field landing may cost you really big bucks for cutting those corners. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
