It appears that these FAA regs alone are not enough. My FAA representative
and our FAA DAR (who is a homebuilder, too!) has told me that it is not
sufficient to follow all the rules; instead, an FAA rep or DAR needs to
positively approve it. If the instrument avionics are not TSO'ed or
equivalent, then they will not sign off on it. Period. Without the FAA
positive approval, even if you do not violate any FAA regs, you cannot fly
IFR.
I think the FAA inspectors/DAR do not want to risk their jobs, and there is
no specific instruction to them that non TSO'ed instruments are ok in
experimentals, so they just refuse. If you can find one FAA inspector/DAR
who is willing to sign off e.g., a bluemountainavionics EFIS for IFR use,
then please let me know.
Sincerely,
Noel Simmons

For the pitot/static system in the removable panel in my 6A, I used aluminum
and AN4 fittings to the final fitting on the bulkhead fwd of the panel and
poly tubing around the back to the static fittings. I needed those little
aluminum gaskets to seal the AN4 37 degree fittings and teflon thread
sealant/lube on the fittings that go in to the instruments. I've tested it
virtually to 20,000' and I get a leakdown of about 250'/hr and you're
allowed 100'/min so I think I'm good to go.
Planning on all aluminum for the brakes from the place where the rubber
hoses (supplied with the finish kit) attach at the firewall all the way down
to the calipers.
I'm building a 6A so if yours isn't an A the brake lines go through the
firewall then down instead of back to the wing-spar and down.
Pictures of the static plumbing if you want 'em....contact me directly.
