--> RV8-List message posted by: Jim Bean <jim-bean@att.net>
I am trying to fit the fiberglass induction pipe from Vans that goes to
a front induction throttle body on an IO-360. It is a fairly old piece,
part of a 1999 kit. The problem is that it dosn't clear the starter by a
lot. What have people done with this? Were later examples better?
I could chop a big piece out of the top of it and make it fit but glass
is not my favorite medium. All-metal kit right! Also what would a chop
job do to the airflow and the structural strength. Big vacuum inside.
Anyway what is the community experience with this?
TIA Jim Bean

Jim,
I haven't flown yet so I don't know how much clearance will be
required, but one thing you can do is file some off the bottom of the
starter. Bill at B&C said you can take off an eighth of an inch
without a problem because of the thick casing. If you have a different
brand you might check with the manufacturer.
If you need more space then you'll have to cut out the area below the
starter and reglass with as smooth a curve as possible. Danny King did
this and said the airflow was fine.
Good luck,
Joel Harding
