Our Rotax distributor tells me that it is important to shim this bracket so
there are not any loads on it after install, even though the factory does
not. Washers may need to be added where it attaches to the crank case.
Hope this helps!!

Subject: Europa-List: Rotax 914 exhaust bracket
Hello all,
For the second time I found one of the turbo brackets broken. The bracket I
am talking about is a stainless steel welded tubular part which is bolted to
the crankcase on one side and on the exhaust manifold on the other.
This part is very difficult to remove and replace and is very expensive :
192 Euros ($240) last September.
The fist breakage was after 207 hours ( In fact it was certainly broken
before). Second time was 38 hours later.
Has anybody experienced this problem ?

Now 245 hours.
