I searched around for guidance last year on how to do this. Didn't get much info., but enough to get me nervously started.

To aid anyone in a similar bind, here are some photos of the process that I went through. http://picasaweb.google.com/fzvs2f under Inverted Oil System.

Following the instructions, the actual install was surprisingly straightforward. The hardest part was fabricating the hoses.

I made two new brackets for the throttle and mixture out of .05 steel sheet and attached them to the bottom of the sump. I think they will work fine. The throttle was straightforward. The mixture less so. I will post photos for these too.

Glad to hear your getting it to work, I'm interested in some photo's of how you mixture cable bracket worked out and how close to the exhaust it is.

Cheers

Hi Andrew, how is at this time your experience with the mixture bracket instalation, I have the same instalation but not ready to fly yet, it is rough to work and i have some thinkings of a failure for that roughtness.
