I've attached a pic of a rough template of the DLE30 standoff spacing sitting on the firewall (not quite stuck down flat so the overhang at the bottom probably looks lightly worse than it actually is - prob only about 1 - 2mm). Sorry for poor quality - was taken on my phone (and in the dark - my light bulb as blown ha ha).

Hope that helps. Horizontal space is fine - it's only the vertical that is a bit tight.

My standoffs are prob about 12mm dia, so a 16mm dia flange could be a squeeze without some sort of mod - but this obviously depends on the spacing on your engine.

You can also see that there's room for a cannister. I'm just using the stock muffler though - I can't justify a cannister for a 30cc.

Wow Tim, thats a small firewall, But she should be oky doky. are you going to cover over you can hole. Mine came with a blanking plate.

This is what you need Garth. Comp-arf 2.6 260. This is my baby

Hi All,

Update, checked every thing over and dry assy of every thing. Wings are straight, mount tube and alignment pins on the wings are the same(have had a fuse tube in wrong before) slight movement of C/F wing spar in fuse, coat of lacker will fix that.

Photos, Fuse setup Level for and aft and side to side.
Checking of wings

Drew up engine mount template and then drilled 2mm pilot holes.

Moved on to stab setup and fitment.

Mate,

You're smashing the build already! You'll put me to shame!

Good to see the motor will fit just fine on the firewall.
