I believe that to use the 'Revmaster' cowling with a VW engine, you have to have a prop hub extension of around 2.5 to 3 inches because of the taper on the nose. We had a very nice one, but at the time did not want to add an extension, so traded it for a 'Hapi', which would not clear the exhaust pipe on one side that we traded from a 4 into one to allow room for the carburetor. Jerry disliked the 'bumps' that we had to add to the front of the 'Hapi', so much, that he decided that it would be OK to use an extension and bought one. Then we had to find another 'Revmaster' cowling, which we now have thanks to Jim Moorehead.
I put quotes around the names, because these names have been applied to a certain shape of cowl and may or may not be the product of either of those companies. In fact, I know that Revmaster does not make the 'Revmaster' cowling and cannot even tell you where to get one. I include all the other rambling so you will get the idea that you just can t apply this or that cowling to your installation and expect it to fit. You have to fit your installation to the cowling or change the cowling. If you don't have anything invested in a cowling yet, you may be better off building your own from scratch as is documented on several sites referenced on this NET.
