For planes using retard magneto's,
where do you mount and in which direction do you mount the starting vibrator?
I would mount with plastic shell upside but it looks happier if mounted down, terminals facing the sky.
Is it ok to install on the engine side of the firewall, mounted high? I think I have room above and behind the magnetos as long as engine temperature is not an issue.
Should I avoid behind the firewall near gas tank due to possible sparking, even though the tank vents below plane?
For twins it is placed a long way away from the engine as they apparently only have one for both engines.
Never seen one on a single engine plane (but have seen one on a helicopter in the engine areaa).
