912 carb drip tray

[GaryNo]

If anyone is looking for carb drip trays for your 912,Van's Aircraft sells a real nice drip tray for $13.50 ea.Van's part #VA-205.Rotax sells their drip tray for $104 ea..If you do not have drip trays you should consider installing these to prevent possible dripping fuel onto your HOT rear exhaust pipes.FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess I am too slow... I am installing my 912, and so I thought I'd order them now... but they do NOT show up on Van's price list, nor in a search... darn! Oh well... any other sources like this one? Thanks!

I have a new set from vans that I don't need. Give me a call or email.

Sorry if this is not applicable as I have not seen the Vans trays, but I had trays on my first IV that made carb maintenance almost impossible. They were mounted under the sockets so removing them for maintenance was not practical. This time I did something different. A picture is in my IV-1200 album. Out of town or would give a link to the photo.

Lowell- I added a photo of your drip tray.
Hope it's the one you mentioned.

I find my muffler does a fine job of catching drips. ;-)

G`morning guys
I have routed the "overflow tubes" into the K&N filters for the 3 years. Seems to work fine and does prevent fuel spilling.
I also made up "heat deflectors" that simply snap tie beneath the carbs. This seems to keep the carb bowls cooler after shut down on hot days. (first pic in my album under brush brackets)
The shields are made up from race car starter protector kits.
This system may not look very professional but is very easy to remove for maintenance.
Cheers
Don
