Hi Roger,
Brave man in the middle of winter!
I have the Skydrive Carburettor heat manifolds fitted which look very simila
r.
Yes, if I remember correctly, it is a tight fit for the Rotax drip trays and
 I did have to get them extended to cover the carburettor bottom. Good alumi
nium welder did the job.
Had to alter the tray edges also to avoid exhaust pipes and through age had t
o repair some cracks later on.
Cheers,
Tim
