Ladies & Gentlemen,  I'm looking for opinions about which is the better cowl
to use for my RV8.  The James rotary cowl, his lycoming cowl or the standard
Vans cowl. It appears I'll have to make the engine mount myself since
Conversion Concepts seem to be taking money without delivery so I can make
it to suite any of the above.

There is a lack of  RV8s locally so I can't easily see the genuine Vans cowl
and I've only seen magazine pics of the James rotary cowl.  So I ask you
which would be the better for a rotary installation.

George, as a matter of interest is the starter on your bell  housing on the
side or underneath and does it fit the RX8 motor?

Thankyou
Greg
RV8
