The pc680mj is rated for temps of 176f vs 680 at 140f. The tray that hawker sells for the 680 only, provides nice protection though. Not sure if that would increase its rating or what real firewall temps would be behind baffling but within exhaust piping area . I have a smaller 7ah battery on my 6 with the sd8 alternator mounted high in the center of the firewall but usually change that one out every other year. I guess real question is what are real world firewall temps on the 10? -------- Dave Ford RV6 flying RV10 building Cadillac, MI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=395185#395185 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:58:09 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: PC925L & PC680 mounting From: "bill.peyton" They run as high as 190 F on a hot summer day at the lower firewall -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=395223#395223 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:54:04 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Fuel Lines From: Rick Lark Aha, thx. I got to Aircraft Spruce @ CYFD yesterday and switched the fitting I had for the 45 degree one. Glad I did by the looks of your photo. So the fuel route is fuel pump, transducer, distribution spyder, cylinders? Not sure thats correct?

You can insert the transducer either between the pump and servo, or between the servo and the distributor. EI, who makes the transducer has it between the pump and the servo on their STC for certified planes, but several folks here have had success between servo and distributor, which is normal location for Continental fuel injection with fuel return line, that Bendix FI does not have.

Has anyone come up with a solution or a method for cutting these down without compromising the airframe? ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 09:09:58 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Obstruction behind instrument panel From: Kelly McMullen Vans recommends rather strongly that the triangular braces not be cut. Some certainly have done it and reinforced with aluminum angle, but no idea how sound that might be. No clearance issues with my Dynon Skyview 10" screens.

He had big AFS screens so he almost certainly had to modify these ribs. If I had to leave one intact, I'd make it the center one. Look at the pictures of the center post in the accident photos--it's pretty clearly bent.
