Yeah, that is a kool project those guys have going on. Priced right, too. I really thought it would be over 80K when I first saw it. They oughta sell them as fast as they can make them for 69..

I mounted mine on the back side of the firewall with some (probably unnecessary)vibration mounts. You might have enough room to piggy back both sets, one on the back, one on the front. Hey, you spent the big bux for dual ignition, use em.

On mine, only the padding was 3" the webbing is 2"... I think I may have sent wrong one... SO SORRY... I think this is the right one... It's $48 on bFriday sale now... But I see you did the same thing with the bar, seems to make the most sense for me... Looking good... https://www.amazon.com/B085DHWH3N

My Verner has the dual ignition option. Which means double-trouble finding a place to mount the coils. Where have you folks mounted your coils? My first thought is pictured. I might consider using only one of the ignitions and just leave a dead spare plug in each cylinder.

... Here's the one I ordered... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087JK6GHV
Pappy, that seatbelt was reduced on amazon for b-friday to something like $56, so I pulled the trigger with some doubt about using 3" webbing. It arrived today and will be returned tomorrow. 3" is way too large for my liking. Both my car and Sportsman use 2". Too bad. Here is a pic of my belt mountpoints, finished today.

For those of you that are a little nervous about hand propping your 1/2 VW, Scott Casler (hummelengines.com) has developed a front mounted starter kit that bolts on, without removing the prop hub or distributor. I just made a test installation on my engine and once I get the correct, longer prop bolts & wire it, I'll be ready for some test runs.

I recently ran accross a video of the Spirit SE-1. A very cool all metal plane. What was interesting is the engine. Reminds me of the Verner but with the top cylindar missing. It's few lbs heavier though  Just thought I'd post their links for general interest.

Thanks for the reply Brock. I’m not sure how much it’ll bother me. It wouldn’t be a big job to remove it and run directly from the wing tank. I like the idea of being able to use all the fuel in the wing and have a clear indication of what I have left right in front of me. It’ll hold 5 or 6 litres. Should be enough for 30+ minutes. Also, the instrument panel will partially obscure it and if I manage to get a Verner it’ll stick up in front too.

Thanks for sharing. Do you think you'll get tired of that tank in your forward view? I do like the idea of a header, what is the capacity of it?
