Detailed weight breakdown of DB 605A as installed..?

Hi,

I am looking for complete weight of the DB 605 - ones that detail of main component neccessary for the whole engine to work, such as engine block itself, weight of supercharger, magnetos, injection system (if that was counted seperately), engine bearers, cowling etc.

Such breakdowns IIRC are found the Einbaumappe, recalling I`ve seen one in the AS Einbaumappe but either my memory fails me or I have lost that particular page somewhere.. in any case, I would be looking for the weight 605A not the AS version.

I suspect that the 720 kg dry weight is engine w/o some components, ie. supercharger or magnetos, but I am not sure what is included in the 764 kg 'installed weight with additional devices'.. I am sure this did not cause so much head-scratching in the '40s, as these appear to be some sort of RLM standard weights (which might be a good alternate point to start from).

In brief I am looking for a detailed weight breakdown of the whole Powerplant as installed into aircraft. Some figures I already have from other reports for propeller etc.
