Greg; William Wynne's KR2 cowling can be modified to fit various widths. My KR2 has a smaller firewall than Bill's. I was able to easily take some out of the width. See my website. www.awesometrvl.com for details. You could use the same technique to add width as needed. (William's cowling has some extra material you trim off. This will help adjust for size.)

As I pencil out my dimensions I have widened the firewall a tad as well, then thought I better check first to see if that is wise. I think I need to understand my engine cowl options before I commit to a firewall size and shape. I am hoping that I do not have to create my own cowl design, that I can buy a commercially available one or ride on somebodies coat tails. What are my Corvair engine cowling options? Is there a mold available I could borrow? Is there one developed that would work for my applications that I could purchase? Are there drawings or diminsions available so I can insure my fuselage shape fairs smoothly into the cowl's line? Or should I purchase a nose bowl and plan on designing and fabricating a cowl myself. I can imagine this would be a pretty good project all by itself. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net Post photos, introductions, and For Sale items to http://www.kr2forum.com/phpBB2/index.php please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding?
