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. > On Mar 23, 2017, at 10:14 AM, John Trollinger wrote: > > I had the same issues you did..

First, it doesn't sit flat against the backside of the skin because of the rivets and doubler holding Vans vent. So every attempt to seat it is different from the previous attempt.

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.

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.

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.

They're OK. However I went with Zolatone. It's water based also. Linn On 3/25/2017 12:34 AM, David J.
