Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.....I installed my
13B onto my SQ2000 firewall, and I am finding that both the the
alternatorand the water pump need to be moved and/or lowered. The
alternator needs to be mounted on the side, rather than the top, and the water
pump needs to be shortened. I took some pictures of a rotary installation
at the SERFI fly-in recently, (I believe it was Ed Anderson's), which showed the
water pump with a short adapter, and a radiator cap on top of it. This, of
course eliminates the place I assumed the main radiator hose would attach.
With this system, how does the water flow, and is there a thermostat under that
radiator cap? If so, what would be it's purpose? (I am assuming that the water
would have no place to go after the thermostat opened). Any suggestions,
especially pictures of alternate methods of side mounting the alternator, and
lowering the upper portion of the water pump would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your assistance/suggestions. Paul Conner, Mobile,
