Rusty,
Mike McGee of this list was working on his version of the
backplate/mount but at last report the project was on the back
burner.....Perhaps if enough interest was shown by the group
he might revive the project.........I had a photo of his mockup
mounted on a RV4 engine mount but it seems to have been
lost somewhere.......His version had a spot for the alternator
and a direct drive waterpump !!

For your information I just received information that the "Mistral" backplate
(to allow use of Lycoming Dynafocal engine mount) that was adaptable to 86-91
Mazda front housings is no longer available (sadly
Hi Kelly,
That's really too bad. It was probably more expensive than anything I'd consider, but an affordable front cover replacement that would bolt to a dynafocal mount would really make the installation much easier. It wouldn't likely be optimal, but I bet there's be a lot more people willing to try a rotary engine if it was that easy to bolt one one.
Cheers,
Rusty (thinking about making one for the RV-3)
