    Lopresti may have changed the bracket since I installed mine. I do not have pics of the installation. I was the first to install, so when to Lopresti in the first install, we epoxied the lites in the first time, that is an option for you. Then they sent me the new adjustable bracket. I cut out the old mount and installed the new one. The Flat side of the mounting plate lays against the tank you may have to remove if I remember correctly. It only took me a couple of hours to install. Perhaps the tip diminsions have change since my kit?? 40383 Or the tank?? Good luck Jim Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=130085#130085

    Additionally each wire is labeled for the plug it attaches to.

It is very hard to see when the engine is on the mount already, as there's not much room to get in there and look. That's how to *orient* the harness.

    skills I recently installed a Ram/filtered/Alternate air system on my engine. http://deemsrv10.com/album/Rod%20Bower%20Ram%20Air/slides/DSC05151.html http://deemsrv10.com/album/Rod%20Bower%20Ram%20Air/slides/DSC05247.html Since there was no filtered air solution available for the BPE forward facing fuel controller, cold air engine, I needed to find/design a solution, I found a good possibility from another builder and was about to implement that when I stumbled on this solution. http://www.lazy8.net/RodBower.htm The system is built by Rob Bower (6 time Master RV builder) I became fascinated by the design and the flexibility, not only does it supply Filtered Air, but it also delivers RAM air and the associated MP increase & performance gains that accompany it! It has a built in safety feature for alternate warm (cowl) air as well. Sort of a 3 in 1 solution! Some of you know I am a sucker for performance improvement modifications, and this one filled the need for a filtered air solution plus providing some performance benefits. The down side was that I had to modify the Will James cowl to replace the oval induction intake with a circular ring and to provide some room for the filter canister. All total it took me 34.75 hours to modify the cowl, install the system and the control linkages, and to fabricate a 'mold' for Rob for others who have the BPE Cold Air and might want to do something similar. I don't know how long installing the standard Van's FAB takes but the difference in hours is worth the added time (for me). Because of my efforts to make a mold for Rob, he made me a VERY GOOD deal on his system ! Rob would like to make his system more widely available to the RV-10 community and is looking for a builder who has a down draft induction system on their engine and would be willing to work with him on an installation. I believe he's willing to make the same VERY GOOD deal to anyone willing to undertake the effort and then provide him a simple 'mold' of any cowl mods. If you are interested you can contact Rob directly @ NB180RB@aol.com Other than the break he already provided me I have no financial interest in this, just caught up in the spirit of Experimental Aviation and wanting to provide an opportunity to another RV-10 builder.

    Subject: Fine Wire Spark Plugs
    I'm looking at fine wire spark plugs and see that the Champion fine wire spark plug (REM 38S) sells for $69.50. The equivilent Autolite fine wire spark plug (UREM 38S) sells for $44.50. Does anyone know if the Champion is worth the additional $25.00 per plug? _________________________________________________________________ See what youre getting intobefore you go there http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_preview_0507

    I can't answer that, but I can tell you I have 12 UREM38S on order from Aircraft Spruce since the beginning of August. Aircraft Spruce, Chief and Sky Geek all had them on backorder. I guess they must be selling a lot of them, since I am unable to find anyone that has stock of them. The latest from Spruce is that they should be in on Sept 1.

    Subject: Re: LoPresti HID landing lights
    Thanks Jim, My kit number is 40559 and I cannot imagine that the wing tip changed. I also bought my SafeAir1 ER tanks about a year ago, so again I would not think they would be different from yours. I am working with the engineers at LoPresti and they seem confidant that we will be able to make this work. On my left wingtip, with the light installed per the instructions, the mounting bracket hits the tank with the wing tip 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch from being in to position on the wing. I am wondering if the light needs to be moved forward quite a bit further than I had it. I had the top adjustment springs almost completely compressed, but maybe the springs need to be re-sized?
