I bought an IO360 A1B6 for my 8 that was removed from a Beech Sierra. It
is a complete fwf, came with the baffles still on it. I was pleasantly
surprised to find out that the baffling fits the RV cowling pretty good,
with only minor modifications necessary.

Hi,
I've got the Matco parking brake installed, and I'm trying
to figure out the best way to actuate it. Has anyone else
installed this?
http://www.rv8.ch/article.php?story=20041117212045565
The problem is that the natural thing to do is to pull
a bowden cable to actuate the brake, but the way I
have this installed, pulling would be to release.
When the lever is up, the brake valve is open.
Thanks for any hints!
Mickey

I fastened a 6" arm of light angle directly to the lever. It has a "stop"
sign riveted on the end with "park brake" written. It moves down between my
legs when applied (hard to miss!). When raised it latches to the cockpit
cross brace.

Mickey,
I've been wrestling with the same issue . . . and plan to use a bowden
cable through one of the gear boxes (probably the right) . . . all the
way to the firewall then loop back to the valve back to the valve . .
. it will be pull on - push off. Mine is mounted horizontal with the
actuator on the right and connections to the brakes pointed aft with
the 45 degree A/N fitting . . . no, the 90 won't work . . . I did get
90s in the ones on the bottom, going to the pedals and I have
individual reservoirs on each master cylinder.
If anyone has a brilliant idea, send it on.
Good Luck,
Bob - to be: N678RC

Hi all, DRG 11A refers to all of this:
I'm assembling the F804 wing centre section and I have found that the F804G spacer
bolt holes don't line up properly with the F804B. These are already predrilled
by Vans for close tolerance bolts so I assume I can't open up the holes.
I think that Vans drilled the F804G prior to factory assembling the F804E to the
F804B and the holes in the F804G (both sides) were drilled too high, so now
the top F804E is riveted in place it interferes with the F804G and therefore the
holes seem out of alignment.
One way to fix this is to shave a bit off the bottom of the F804G spacers (about
1/32") this would mean a sloppy fit between the F804Es but the bolt holes will
retain their tolerance.
Regards
Greg
