Hi Kelly,
 
sorry for disappointing you, it does not fit the stock side housing. These external changes where driven by the need for weight reduction. I had to avoid as much as possible any design constrained from the original MAZDA configuration. However, the whole AL side housing design with the side cover could possibly adjusted for a 12A/13B. The e-shaft in this area has not been changed in the single rotor.

Richard,
   Beautiful work !!...............Would that nice cast front cover (rear in the airplane)
be of stock 12A/13B dimensions and fit our stock engines ??.............Would facilitate
a single point rear mount for those that needed it..................
Best Regards,

Just want to show that I am still here.
All major parts are done, and I have started on some installation issues. A
first shot at the engine mount as seen in the pictures. The radiator will be
on the cool side of the engine and the oil cooler will be below. The exhaust
installation has not been decided, yet. Ignition is going to be a CDI box
which I have been using on the test engine, with a dual coil. On the
carburetor, I know that a Micuni round slide works good, but the lack of
mixture control is making me look around for other options.
So, I am just fiddling along to get it done.

BTW, I could not have it done without going CNC with my milling machine.
