Here is my solution to the "hard to feel detent" on the Vans fuel selector.
I made two stops using tubing and countersunk screws. Now the fuel is
easily positioned from one fuel tank to the other even in the dark.

Hi,
probably a funny question, but I found three rolls of various width of e-glass
in my workshop, but as per the plans there are 10 different widths mentioned. I
can't remember if the glass came with the kit.
Cheers

Thanks guys. I thought so, I guess I bought them in my early years of building

The center position cuts off the fuel but there is no detent. Is the new
valve a drop in replacement or does it require re-plumbing?

what kind of weather at Chino? Sounds like the lack of favorable winds
might be due to being relaltive low altitude for the CA AZ part of the
trip. What percent power was used for the Stellar FTW portion of the
trip? LOP?

Ordered today and wired the harness this afternoon. Two hours were
required to make male Dsub 9 pin for AP side, 25 pin female Dsub for the
auto trim box and a 9 pin female dsub for the servo attach. TT indicates
that a special connector is available if the unit ever needs to be
removed for service. The aircraft could continue flying with existing
manual trim.

what kind of weather at Chino?--- Total overcast/mist/rain.- Pascal
said that the day I left that night they had numerous thunderstorms and no
holes the next day... just a vfr pilot at this time.- Sounds like the la
ck of favorable winds might be due to being relaltive low altitude for the
CA AZ part of the trip.- Chino to Stellar was at 9.500'.- Weather was f
ine, flight was fine... just getting through the cloud layers at Chino was
the problem.- -What percent power was used for the Stellar FTW portion
of the trip? LOP?- I flew the first part of this leg at 9500', then the r
emainder at 11,500 due to clouds.- I usually fly at 2,000 to 2100 rpm, 20
to 21mp, and lop... it seems to depend on altitude, wind direction, and-
temperature.... I just try to get everything set at a combination that keep
everything happy.- Not so lop that the engine sputters, not too close to
peak where the cht's climb.- Sometimes, like today, it even means backin
g down
the mp a bit.-
If you ck the pics, wind at Sweetwater was 060 at 6kt, not favorable at all
.- The shot of the panel shows 2,080 rpm, alt 11,400, and mp pulled back
about 1" worth.- Sending the AFS efis back to upgrade this winter... then
I'll have the oat, and tach working... then I'll actually have tas and win
d info.
Don't know what percent power I was running at... but Kelley will figure it
out for us.
Kelley, sorry for not getting over to Chandler... had some sailing friends
that live right by Stellar...and-I took them up for a short ride... sorry
Pascal... one of these days!- Stellar is-really nice.. fuel $4.18, and
$5 per night tiedown.

The new valve requires re-plumbing.
It's the same valve but as I recall the shaft has been slightly modified (thinner?).
It sits lower (to give more room for the hot air ducting), and connects
to the handle with a long shaft.
The valve is rotated 180 degrees, eliminating the "cross over" in the fuel lines.
The penetration out of the center tunnel is now handled by an AN fitting, instead
of bending the tubing and a rubber grommet.
I was unfortunate to get an "in between" kit; some parts were for the old set up,
some for the new. Vans asked which one I wanted, I said the new set up, and
they sent the needed parts. I did have to re-engineer some of the now-wrong holes;
in particular, mounting the valve lower.
