Model IV Edge Performance EFI, Panel, and Other Miscellaneous Upgrades

[Podunc]

Lots to update on SpiritFox.

Updates are as follows:
1. Got the engine mount gusseted. I up-cycled the oil tank mounts that I cut off to make the gussets.
2. Cut the old oil tank mounting brackets off and relocated new mounting brackets to the port side.
3. Media blasted my engine mount as well as primed and painted with Dupli-Color Engine Enamel and Ceramic that I got from Advanced Auto Parts store. https://www.duplicolor.com/product/e...-with-ceramic/
4. Panel is installed. Yay! But have to finish up the wiring.
5. Hall sensor installed.
6. Found adapter to the FlyBox 601040 Fuel pressure transducer with 2.0 m cable + fitting.
a. Normally the sensor gets turned down on a lathe by Jason Busat to 1/8" NPT (no flare) so that it can mate up to the fuel port.
b. I'm not good with a lathe, and I couldn't find anyone I trusted to turn down a 98 Euro sensor with a cord attached on a lathe. so I found this adapter from McMaster-Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/1786N203.
c. The fuel pressure transducer is male 1/4" BSPP and the port the transducer has to go into is a female 1/8" NPT. The part # 1786N203 from McMaster-Carr is a brass fitting adapter that will do the trick. Additionally, I'll use PTFE thread compound to seal up the threads on the 1/8" NPT side and there is a grean seal provided on the sensor for the 1/4" BSPP side.
7. Installed two new ignition coil packs. $900 for two of these bad boys. Rotax is sure proud of their stuff.
8. Wired up and finished installing my Aveo Powerburst Daylight LEDs. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...powerburst.php

Hi, i see you have the Vigilus from Flybox, curious if you or anyone has pics of the Ammeter / current sensor installed that is from Flybox. I have one but they don't make a mounting housing for it, and it doesn't seem very robust. Curious of how others have mounted the ammeter and if they had any issues with it.

thx
