Hello Stef, If you are building a 2S then the firewall has already been reinforced for a 100 HP engine. Actually the framing behind the firewall is what was changed. The top cross beams and shelf were all increased and I believe the gussets are also larger if I remember correctly. I will make one suggestion to you as I am in the engine installation phase myself. First install the firewall with temporary screws as you will probably want it on and off several times before you are finished. I cut a small access door through my firewall, similar to a lot of Pipers, for inspection and access to components mounted in this area because I swore I would never "instrument panel dive" again! I am also installing all components without the SS firewall in place so that when everything is up and running then I will only cut the holes I need. As I am liquid cooled there is a certain amount or R&D involved and sometimes you end up putting holes in the firewall that will interfere with something else.

If I am looking at the next stage we have to think about the fire wall. We have made the decision to go for an 100 HP engine. Did any of you make the connection from the firewall to the fuselage stronger ? How did you do it? Thanks Stef Stef and Ted are building the KR-2S see http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2 _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
