    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Greg@itmack" <greg@itmack.com> Disregard everyone. When I put them in the right way around the F804G fit okay. I was on a night shift last night, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. After putting in a couple of the wrong rivets and trying to explode my rivet gun with 100psi I'm calling it a day, before I burn the place down. Tomorrow I'd better check what else I did today. Greg Yawn > > 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 > 82070 > >

    "RV-8 group" <RV-8@yahoogroups.com> --> RV8-List message posted by: "Don McNamara" <N8RV@gte.net> Anyone else had fun with Van's wiring harness? I had the harness for the firewall-mounted battery and changed my mind. Rather than horse around unbundling wires, I just ordered the correct harness when I got the FWF kit, thinking that, as long as I stuck with the plans on where to mount things, the harness should bundle all the wires where they should go, right? Well, either this rat's nest is somebody's idea of a joke, or I've got the plans upside-down. For example, the wires to the alternator, mags and the voltage regulator are, according to the plans, the only ones exiting the right side of the firewall into the engine compartment. However, there are a whole boatload of wires bundled alongside, some longer than the mag and v. regulator wires. And, right alongside them are the wires that are supposed to exit the LEFT side of the firewall. Am I supposed to just cut apart the bundles and string the wires where they need to go? If so, then what's the point of a wiring harness in the first place?? Sheesh ... Since Van's is usually right and I'm usually wrong, somebody please tell me where I goofed up. -- Don McNamara N8RV

    Subject: Re: Wiring harness
    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Don McNamara" <N8RV@gte.net> Thanks, Al. Now my biggest concern is why I have two wires headed toward the tail labeled "P9". The plans call for a P8 & a P9 for the flap motor. Maybe I'll figure it out on a new day when I'm not tired of looking at little numbers on little wires. -- Don N8RV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Grajek" <algrajek@msn.com> Subject: RE: RV8-List: Wiring harness > --> RV8-List message posted by: "Al Grajek" <algrajek@msn.com> > > Don: > My reply was gonna be: Maybe you have it reversed.
