hi all, I am hoping to replicate the first KR1. one major asthetic change seems to be from the engine in that was mounted to two alum channels at the firewall, allowing for short nose. looks like about a 5" space from rear case to fw.
the magneto was belt driven and mounted high and I am sure this is why that "shelf" exists at the firewall. I have seen electronic ignition which populates the distributor hole and is low profile, and think that would eliminate the magneto need. a starter I think could go there at that shelf anyway, just tossing that out there to try and keep the nose as short as the original. since todays VW engines are bigger displacement than ken's original which I believe was quite smakll less than 1500cc IIRC, but are they longer now too, or same case dimension? suggestions for ignition would be appreciated as well. thanks as always for any advice cp _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
