Rebel Questions: tail wrap; engine fit; riveter modification

[Richard E. Swan]

Builders:

I sent a email to MAM on Monday with a couple of questions, but I haven't
heard back yet.

Is the tail wrap modification a piece that can be ordered from MAM, or is it
only a builder-developed item out of scratch 0.032?

The project I have has only pictorial documentation and I can't readily tell
what the original builder intended on engine size. Is there a couple of
measurements that can be taken to determine if it is "stock", or if it is
instead built for the heavier O290/O320? I'm sure there is a solution by
back-tracking through the plans, but to be honest I get lost at trying to do
that. I'm thinking something simple like the forward edge of the bottom
thick plate (SG-13 ?) to the bottom of the firewall.

Does the nose piece for the riveter need to be modified for the Rebel, or does one just use the riveter as it comes from the factory?

Thanks again,
Richard
