Thanks guys. I apreciate the info.
I think I need to enlarge the cutout somewhat before I proceed.
Graeme - I'll take a few shots today and send them to you.
I haven't actually fired up the engine yet, but am close to that. I am
finishing off the radiator connections, and having a few problems plumbing
the connection between the right front cyclinder and the pump, as well as
the inlet to the pump which comes from the radiator. These two connections
basically point straight at the right rear exhaust pipe, which is only
about 5 - 6 inches away. Anyone else out there have any
suggestions/solutions on this problem?
I am also fitting a cabin heater that was included with the kit, but it's
a bit complicated, and there are absolutely no notes/instructions included
in the documentation I have.

Colin I often look at the pics on Barnstormers.com or ebay to see how others
have done things. Do a search for kitfox at each site and you will find
some pics. Unfortunately there are no Kitfoxes with VW redrives around for
me to copy. Ron NB Ore

If you lived in Queensland you wouldn't need a heater. OOPs, sorry ,
couldn't resist a dig at the cockroaches.

the tendancy is to try to fit the windscreen to tightly around the spar attach point. Relieving windscreen to match the spar is the minimum. You will be better served to look at the size/shape of the butt rib as just beyond the maximum, arriving there incrimentally.
