Re: C65 / A65 starter / alternator approved mod
Sorry, David, I don't know but you might like to speak to the chap supplying the mod or Dave Stokes of the Wessex Strut who has the mod installed in his Jodel D112. His details are on the Wessex Strut website.

Re: Wanted: 2" venturi
Thanks Mike but the 2" measurement is not a physical dimension of the venturi but the value of the vacuum it pulls. The 2" model is the smallest of the various specs.
