35. Mount your muffl er of choice to the engine. We

used the SlimLine

Pitts style muffl er. This muffl er

comes the closest to fi tting in the cowl without making
any cuts in the cowl.

36. Locate the plywood ignition module / battery tray.

Mount your ignition battery to the bottom of the tray
and the ignition module to the top of the tray. Place a
piece of foam between each of them. Secure them to

the tray with #64 rubber bands. Install the plastic sleeve
with the engine over the spark plug wire.

37. Place the tray on the top of the fi rewall box. Drill

a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through each of the mounting
tabs into the plywood box. Secure the tray with four #2
× 3/8" [9.5mm] screws. If you have any concern about
the screws vibrating loose you may wish to consider
applying some silicone on the bottom of the tray. Should
you need to remove the tray you can easily cut the
silicone, freeing the tray.

38. Locate the three plywood parts for the ignition

switch mount. We have provided a pre-cut switch mount
for either a standard switch or a heavy-duty switch.
Determine which switch plate you will use and then
glue it together as shown.

39. Mount the switch using just the screws that came

with the switch. Glue the switch mount to the fuselage
as shown in the picture in the next step.

40. Make all of the connections for the ignition

switch. Secure the connectors with heat shrink tubing,
tape or some other method for locking them together.
We mounted the charge receptacle with the Earnst
Charge Receptacle (ERNM3001). We mounted it
