REFLECTOR: Fuel Sump

[Ronnie Brown]

Joe,

If the rotary mounts to the firewall using the same holes as the normal Velocity engine mounts, there won't be any interferences.  The bottom two engine mount bolts are out about 4-5 inches from the edge of the firewall and just under the bottom of the CS spar.  The tabs for the sump tank are inboard and below the CS spar another 3-4 inches.  (I'm looking at pictures of my firewall, so I these are approximate measurements!).

Ronnie

  I would like to prepare and install my fuel sump.  I do not have my engine mount yet and want to make certain I do not have an interference.  I have a 173 Elite RG.  I will be using a 20B rotary with the conversion concepts engine mount.  

  If anyone has this configuration, please let me know if there are any interferences between the engine mount and the sump tank that would require sump tank modification.

  Thanks,
  Joe
