rotax618 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The firewall on all of the Savannah models ( VG, XL & S) are the same size as is the bulkhead behind the seat. The difference is that the firewall has about 6deg more rake on the VG. ICP decreased the angle, it may explain why XLs are having more nose wheel problems because they have much less camber i.e. the nose wheel is more upright and is subject to greater loads when steering at speed. I used an XL engine frame, with spacers to make up for the greater rake, and ring mount but I will be building a new engine frame. The cowl needs a little bit added to make up for the increased angle. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
