Then, using the templates provided by the A/S catalogue I drew all the instruments plus the cut-out area and center hole for each instrument. The CAD software allowed to move the instruments around the IP until I found a layout I liked. Next I found myself a company, that uses AutoCad and had a big printer (most engineering offices have that). They printed the IP plus instrument layout in scale 1:1. The printout was glued to the IP and - voila - I had all cutout areas, centerholes, etc. right on the IP.

Canopy Any available? ************************ Greg, I have a welding jig I built up for mine, along with the initial sketches I made to put it together. The jig was initially off laterally by about 3 inches, resulting in the front flange of the engine being 3 inches off from center. I had it cut off and re-welded correctly, and with the second mount iteration, my o-200 fit perfectly. I could probably either send you my sketches or the jig if you're interested (jig for cost+shipping). Be aware though that the jig is pretty heavy, as I made it out of plate steel and 1.5" angles.

It was VERY nasty. The sealant he used was also very expensive with a limited pot life. Even after we gobbed the sealant on everything, he chased leaks for a long time. With how thick the Zodiac's wings are, I would use separate fuel cells without any inclination to make wet wings after the experience I had. For him it made more sense because his wings were very slim.
