Make modified upper fixing points - Agreed
I am not sure you need the "lengthened and foldable headrest".
That is an alternative if the original upper fixing point is still
going to be there. That mod is possible do afterwards. It is on my list.
With lenghtened headrest the safety belts do not compress your spinal -
they are coming from up. It is better to be also foldable - so it does
not restrict reaching back seat. I do not remember whos idea this was
but "he" has good pics of it.
- do not use original glass fuel filters - They have there limitation
but are acceptable if they are accessible and can be monitored and
cleaned. Has anyone found a reasonably priced substitute we could
standardise on.
I have. It is an original Rotax fuel filter. Goes direct instead of
Europa suplied Profuel filter. It is cheap, one piece and no glass at
all, only plastic, no separate parts, cannot assemble wrong manner
(because undismountable), unbreakable and when used throw away it. I
change them avery annual = every 50 hrs.
Keep it safe,
