Sorry about that, I'll put it in to the next revision.
Typically I use AN 3-3A or -4As depending on the shank requirement.
Here is the trick. I sometimes use the AN-4 through the glycol cooler
for the front hole support on the stbd side and will generally now put a
nut plate in the aft side and the port side. The oil cooler is narrow
enough that if you choose wisely all will clear. But make sure that the
end of the bolt does not contact the coolers. If you choose to put nuts
and bolts on, make a thin 3/8 wrench and put the bolt in from the inside
There is just enough room to put a thin wrench in between the duct and
cooler. Because I am lazy I make a hole in the stbd bracket like in the
port side to inspect my radiator hose.
Why use nut plates? Because I have a 914 and you have to pull the
duct down to do almost anything on a turbo. Besides, if the duct is
easy to remove, it pays dividends when you have to do modifications or
just want to clean up the engine for an inspection. Same way for the
footwells... I put nut plates in everything. Once the interior is in,
I don't want to rip it out because I have the desire to fiddle with my
engine.
Any other ideas?

=EF=BB
To the list for a quick reply if anyone is listening .......
AN3--5A bolts hold the CD4's and CD5's to the footwells but there
seems to be no guidance as to what holds the CD4' and 5's to the duct.
So what have others used please?

Jeff-
The original cowling was designed for the Rotax, which was the
engine of choice for the original airplane. I also have a Jab. and have
the Jab. FWF kit. Trying to modify the original cowling to fit the Jab.
would be a very extensive project. By far, your best bet is going to be
to use the Jab. kit. For starters, the Jab. is a bit longer than the
Rotax and you would need to account for that, as well as the vastly
different cooling. Your best sources will be Bud or John Lawton.

Subject: Europa-List: Cowl Question?
Dear Europa List ,
I have a question for the Europa List. I have attached a picture
of our original Europa Classic cowl (rotax) and naturally it doesn't
mate up with the Jab3300. With this in mind has anybody out there in
Experimental Europa/Jabiru land modified the original cowl to fit the
JAB? I have pictures of John Lawton's Europa N245E and I assume the
cowling came from Jabiru USA ? And of course looks fantastic, however,
I find the original look of the Europa intriquing and full of "english"
personality! I like its big nose and hedgehog charm.
I just thought I would check to see if it had been done. It would
take a great deal of modification to the air inlets and a quite a curvey
nacelle would have to be fabricated to make it work: And of course
this brings up issues with proper airflow and cooling of the equipment.
So far with our current JAB we have had to wrestle with some cooling
issues and it seems that cowl design can be a fairly prickly issue...a
black art for me at least.
Thanks for your time and consideration, Cheers!
