Me. too. I did the best I could with them.
The panels seem to act as a big plenum adn you will still get the
ventilation but the ducts sure don't fit.
do not archive.

I just did my side vent installation back in February. The vent installed
pretty easily, no real issues.
The rivets went around the vent itself, didn't interfere with the placement
Here are some pictures I took of the vent and bar installation. Hope it
helps.

| Subject: | control cables and a tip |
In June of 2015, I contacted Aircraft Spruce and it was suggested that they
could get me some Vans customized control cables for the throttle quadrant.
These cables had Teflon cores with a melt point of 650F. I purchased a set
for about $550 in June 2015. I awaited an opportune time to install.
Although I did not know it at the time I was told later that the warranty
was for 1 year. I installed them in April 2016 when the engine was off the
aircraft. Throttle and prop cables are working fine but the mixture started
jamming in February 2017 and jammed completely in March 2017 (@104TT). I
contacted Spruce and was told that they were out of warranty; their
purchasing people promised to call and provide the contact at the factory
but never did. I was able to get the number from another source and called
ACS products. I sent them the old mixture cable and they "fixed" it and
returned it to me without charge. The ACS cables with Teflon cores seemed
to be a good product. Their products are available through Wicks or direct.
We will see how the Teflon cores handle the heat between the aft baffling
and the firewall which only goes higher after shutdown. I always try to
remember to open the oil door after shutdown to vent extra heat.
As an addition to my previous TIPs sheet
It was suggested by an IA that some of these engine shops do and charge
what they please regardless of instructions as long as the total invoice
after insurance reimbursement will make the extra charges uneconomic for
litigation purposes. "You always learn more than you ever wanted to know"

I am nearing the point when I will need to paint the interior of my
fuselage. Looking at the paint options, I find the Stewart Systems
water based paint to be attractive from a safety perspective. Has
anyone used their product, and if so what was your experience, both
positive and negative.

I've only used a few Stewart products ..... They're OK. However I went
with Zolatone. It's water based also.
