You should also look for Trymer 2000. I found a supplier nearby a
few years back, but they don't carry it anymore.

Is anyone using Polyisocyanurate Foam, (e.g. Tuff-R) in their construction?

The last mention of it on the search engine was by Dean Cooper, Sept 2004

KR> Re: Baffle 2180 VW Reverse Engine

2009-03-20 Thread smwood
Henry,
Here is what I am doing with ducted cooling.  I am using the standard VW 
cooling shrouds ($23/set at a VW performance shop) with a slight 
modification to connect to my homebuilt fiberglass ducts.  The standard VW 
cooling shrouds will fit any displacement Beetle engine manufactured from 
1939 to 2009.  If you get the shrouds, get some metric screws.  The VW heads 
have metric tapped lands to fasten the shrouds on, no mods, no muss, no 
fuss.  All you have to do then is get air blasting into the top of the 
shrouds.  Be sure to put the "Cool Tins" on the bottom of the cylinders. 
Get Cool Tins from Great Plains Aircraft Supply or the VW performance shop. 
Is this any help?

Can anybody give me advise on how to baffle a 2180 VW reverse engine?

KR> Repairing/modifying VE cowls

2009-03-20 Thread Paul & Karen Smith
Here is a quote from an RV8 builder

"You may wonder about using epoxy to substantially modify a vinylester
structure. Not only did Sam James tell me this was ok, but I called Gougeon
Brothers, makers of the West System, and talked to their tech staff just to
be sure. Since epoxy and vinyl ester are of the same chemical family they
have similar properties with regard to expansion/contraction. They said that
when grafting onto a cured vinyl ester structure, that epoxy adheres better
than using vinylester resin. Therefore use the West System when glassing
anything other than polyester, and even then minor repairs are ok."
