Hi Justin, 

As a side issue, did you have any problem with the Skydrive heater causing

the carbs to sit too far aft. I have a Classic cowl and engine mount and

wish to install the Skydrive heaters as well. I have the cold air induction

mod with the rectangular filter box. The filter box is not very far from the

firewall now. If I add the skydrive carb heat mod will I have enough room? I

don't want the air filter box to be hitting the firewall when the engine

shakes during start and shut down. Do you or anyone else see a problem here?

Thanks to all.

Troy,

I had no problem regarding space (Monowheel Classic) for the Skydrive carb 

heater.The 'cold air induction

 mod' I presume is the  plenum air chamber that Europa supplied. My plenum 

air chamber

is right up against the firewall, not connected, but is secured to the 

engine mount (part connected to the engine and not the fuselage) with a 'U' 

bolt

coming up through the plenum air chamber.(Peter Davies invention) This then 

vibrates with the engine if necessary)

Cheers,

Tim
