Mike Andresen aka Azcloudflyer has a complete tool rig specifically for this problem
that he has sent all over the world to folks with this issue. Once the
sensor plate is off, it's a 30 second fix.

| Subject: | camlocs on the bottom of cowl |
I saw a post on VansAirforce about Camlocs causing problems on the
bottom of the cowl. I am installing the cowling on my RV10 right now
with hinges on the side of the bottom cowl and camlocs on the bottom. My
RV8 has hinges on the side and nutplates on the bottom, and I am very
happy with the way the cowl slides aft and the hinges hold it up until I
install the pins, a one man job. I was thinking that the camlocs might
prevent that smooth installation because the camlocs would hang up the
cowl from sliding aft. I can easily change now to nutplates. Can anyone
give me any feedback on this configuration?

No experience with camlocs on the bottom of lower cowl. I put nutplates
and screws all across the bottom.
I'm not flying yet but my reasoning was screws/nutplates are less
espensive and I already have to crawl under the plane to unscrew the
bracket in the ramp so why not the ones on the side. I think the
camlocs would get in the way as you slide the lower cowl in place.
I did put camlocs on the upper cowl and hinges down the sides.

I've used CamLocks on both pieces of the cowl. No problems to date.

Some 1/4 turn fasteners cause more of a problem in that type if thing than o
thers. I have installed Skybolt fasteners on a couple if cowls there without
trouble. Screws and nutplates are definitely cheaper. The biggest reason to
go screws, IMHO, is the reason already given, that you still have 6 screws o
n the bottom of the cowl to remove, so you'll already be down there.

Just received and installed the Vans recommended fuel line from firewall to fuel
pump and have a concern. First it fits a little tight and seems a little short
but maybe clocking the fitting will cure that; 2) am concerned about the
aluminum firewall thru fitting holding up through engine vibration and may change
that to steel; 3) if the line is adel clamped to the engine mount will that
eliminate concern about vibration to the fitting?

1. I went with TSflightline for all fuel lines for and aft of the firewall, so
I can't speak to the length of Vans cable.
2. I replaced with steel fittings. Anplumbing.com
3. Shouldn't be an issue. I don't recall if I secured that line with an adel
clamp or not. Just make sure that the line has some slack if you use an adel
clamp.
