David,

Bing Carb CHOKE NIPPLES - Nipple 276 855 available from Rotax 
distributors ($53.40 from Lockwood here in the U.S.)
Carb heat water jackets - Carb Heater No Part No. available from Rotax 
distributors ($415.00 from Lockwood here in the U.S.)
Exhaust copper plated nuts - 8mm exhaust hex nuts 842 950 are available 
---From Rotax distributors ($1.19 from Lockwood here in the U.S.)
Engine Monitoring System - Grand Rapids EIS 4000 for Rotax (~$900, basic 
or ~$1300, advanced) from Grand Rapids, Aircraft Spruce, etc.
Perhaps a wobbly prop - Airmaster Propellers from Airmaster or local 
Airmaster rep.

Here in the U.S.A. Rotax bits and pieces are available from a number of 
vendors.  Lockwood.aero is my go-to.  There are a number of others.  
You=99ll have to find your own in the UK.

Grand Rapids makes a good engine monitor.  I have installed it on a 
couple of Lycomings and I have one on my Europa/Rotax 914UL and it works 
just jim-dandy.  It is available form Grand Rapids (grtavionics.com 
<http://grtavionics.com/>) or various resellers like Aircraft Spruce 
(aircraftspruce.com).  There=99s probably a reseller in the UK.  
It can be a bit of a pain to learn to use unless you connect it to a 
graphical interface (i.e. one of the GRT EFIS).  I=99m less 
familiar with the Dynon offerings but they seem to work well also.

I like the Airmaster C/S propeller.  It works well, is easy to use, easy 
to install, surprisingly light for a C/S prop.  It is an electric prop 
rather than hydraulic.  Which is one reason it is so light.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you need further information.

If anyone has a list of materials they have used, it would be very 
helpful to many folk. The following fields would make it invaluable:-

Part Number
Description
Cost
Supplier
Maybe with comments like "don't touch with a barge-pole" or " works a 
treat!".

Perhaps such a thing already exists, but I have not found it yet. . . .

Currently I am trying to source :-
Bing Carb CHOKE NIPPLES
Carb heat water jackets
Exhaust copper plated nuts
Engine Monitoring System
Perhaps a wobbly prop
