The port size is 22mm, not as small as you are probably imagining 

It will be very clever, if you have managed to go from Rotax to Setrab, without some form of reducer.

 

My guess, a minimum of two extra joins, over that for a hose Rotax to Rotax.😈

From the build manual. Doesn't look like that big a deal to me. And I still don't understand what YOU don't understand about having different radiators for aircraft with different performances. Its as if you couldn't see that maybe a radiator from a F1 car might not perform exactly the same in a LandCruiser 😇

Very clever - the kit comes with a  a 25 MM ID hose adapter - not so many joins after all.

Its not a question of me not understanding that coolant radiators must be specified for diffrent engine sizes/applications, etc,  its wondering why your kit supplier sees fit to not use the Rotax OM Radiator,  that has been  developed for the engine and what seems to be satisfactory in a host of aircraft from low/slow to high speed, pushers and tractors. Nothing sinister or argumentative , just curious 😈

Id say you should email them, but they've gone broke in the meantime 😄

A lot of Imported cars did not have big enough radiator capacity for competition or really hot days  (Australian Conditions)and if the area couldn't be increased they had to be thicker and I used fork Lift ones. The LADA Niva had a sturdy radiator. You need that on outback roads so they don't crack on the sidestraps. Also rubber Mounted adequately. None of this is rocket science. Where there was A V8 VERSION or one for the Automatic trans just use that. Oil coolers can go under the base of the spin  on  oil filter. No pipes at all.   Nev

That's one I haven't heard B4. Was she referring to heat exchangers? Nev
