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
