| Subject: | Re Landing gear bracket |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "colin jordan" <cjordan@TELUS.NET>
I had the same problem with the brackets on my slow build kit .It's an early one
[80255] .I had the a/c level but could not get the strings to line up and get
the same distance to the tail.If I lined up all the strings then one gear was
way back, if I got the distance to the tailright then only three of the strings
lined up.
I ended up clamping two piecec of angle 2"x2"x24"to the gear at the axle face then
squared the gear by measuring the distance at the front and back of the two
angle then measured the distance from the gear leg at a point near the axle
face to the tail to centre to check equal distance on both sides.
I phoned Vans before I drilled any holes and they said what I was doing was perhaps
even better than the strin and plumb bob method!
They also said that the gear legs are now sent out as matched pairs but early on
they were not, so I may of had one of the unmatched sets.
Hope this helps, I have a picture if you need clarification.
Colin.

Which company is it that some folks upgrade their Van's landing gear
fiberglass landing gear fairings with?
One of these, if not both, is supposed to have a thicker fiberglass layup or
something like that...
thanks,

thanks.
i just bit the bullet and drilled when things got to within 1/8 inch
alignment. I did get more than the 3/16 edge distance and I did have to
cut away some of the nutplate material and surrounding belly skin to get
access to the rear holes for the bolt heads.

| Subject: | Aerosport Engine Bolt Torque Values |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Vince Himsl" <vhimsl@turbonet.com>
Hello,
I need to install ignition coils (Lightspeed) on my engine and it looks like I
will need to remove the hoist loop and
install them there. Also, to install the primer system, I will need to remove
some bolts on the bottom of the engine to
install the primer line Adel Clamps.
Question: Can one who has done this pass on the bolt torque values at these locations?
Also can someone steer me to a site (preferred) or publication that will list these
and other misc. engine torque values,
etc.?
I am hoping I do not have to become a Lycoming engine expert just to mount a few
items....
Thanks,
Vince Himsl,
RV8-SB Finish

The overhaul manual dosn't list either of these specifically, so you use
the default table. I think they are 5/16 but don't remember the size for
sure so here is a range:
Size Torque
---- ------
10 49 ip
1/4 96 ip
5/16 204 ip
3/8 360 ip
