1) I have a 914 and my personal opinion is that I would not bother with the
intercooler.  

2) You need to learn how to get into a Europa via sitting on the head rest
but it become easy with a bit of practice.

3) The Laminova oil cooler has been used but is not approved for UK use as,
as far as I know, nobody here has asked to fit one in a Europa.

4) The pattern for the oil reservoir mounting plate was omitted from some
editions of the manual.  You will find it on the Club web site
(http://www.theeuropaclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/OilTankBkt.pdf).
Have a look at the other known corrections.

5)  This is possible and is documented on the Club web site
(http://www.theeuropaclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/12708-Alt-Hold.pdf)
.  It is not particularly difficult to remove the CS10 cross tube to replace
it or weld on a new horn.  You will also be checking that the original build
was done correctly.  If you decide to go this way I can proved more detailed
instructions.

6) My personal opinion is that Mod 67 is not worth doing for the 20mm of
extra width it provides.  Sit in the aircraft and try it.  Note were the
door sill touches your shoulder.

Spend some time on the Club web site for more information on everything on
Europa building.
