Hi! Erich
Whilst I'm no Rotax specialist I don't agree with your proposal. It will
retain more heat longer on shut down and cook more oil in the turbo
bearings than your present set up. I have used soldering mats
appropriately positioned on the inside of the cowl in a pocket edged by
"glass" . It is quite resilient to wear.

I have a non-standard cowing for my Europa and noticed that due to the
proximity of the Turbo and Muffler to the lower cowling that without
shielding hot spots develop on the cowl. Unfortunately, due to the heat
I am constantly changing out the heat barrier on the lower cowl. I
would like to instead apply a heat shield blanket to the turbo and
muffler. I have seen these kits in the performance shops and was
wondering if there were any drawbacks to this system. Anyone???
