Forgot the OH price of rotax being so hgh, but it is water cooled. A proper 0540B2B job (either factory recond or Brisbane Aero Engines/Max or now his son Platers) would have to be $40K to $50K these days. Re engine mount I would get Dafydd Llwellynn as it will never crack when he does it!!! and he puts his name to it. Ian M
