Subject: | Woodward vs McCauley Governor Height |
Does anybody know if the Woodward governor is shorter than the McCauley governor?
I've got a McCauley on my IO-390 and was doing the left front floor baffle
last night and with the cutout for the governor, there isn't enough room for
the big, square fiberglass intake hole between the governor and the left sidewall.
Its something like 1/4" to 1/2" too narrow and that *doesn't* take into
account any mounting flange space. I'm wondering if the Woodward governor is
shorter by a 1/2" or so which will make this all work. Basically, I don't see
how I'm going to get the McCauley to work at this point.
Anybody have any height specs on the Woodward governor? Basically from the boss
mount to the top of the arm would be helpful.
Thanks!

Dear Listers,
I must just be totally missing it, but I've gone through all of my prints twice
now and I cannot find anywhere where the installation of the Induction Snorkel
for the horizontal intake is described or even shown. I'm guessing its got
to be an "OP" drawing of some sort. I would also assume that there would be some
written instructions, but I'm not finding these either.
I'm just not sure what I'm looking for at this point. Can somebody help a brother
out...

Ah, can I get a "what, what!?"... All of the goodies were tucked inside of the
K&N filter box that comes with the FAB-HORIZ INDUCTION-1 kit including the plans,
instructions, and all the bits and pieces! Those Van's shipping people must
be squirrels... $205 for a replacement snorkel I just noticed in the Van's
catalog; guess I'd better do this right the first time...

Subject: | CB-1002-H Governor Bracket Installation Photos...? |
Dear Listers,
Van's turned me on to a bracket for the RV-10 called the CB-1002-H which is a bracket
for mounting the governor control cable on front mounted governors.
Does anyone have some good pictures of how this bracket is installed? Maybe even
a scan of the baffling installation OP sheet where the RV-10 baffling is described?
Since the IO-390 has a front mounted governor similar to the IO-540 used on the
RV-10, some of these baffling pieces seem to work.
Any docs you could provide would be most appreciated!

RV-8 O-360 rear baffle mounted van's oil cooler.
Frankly, I found the baffles to be a time consuming nightmare.
So far temps fine, Oil temp fine.
RV-8 N8432 16hrs.

Subject: RV8-List: Initial Baffle-To-Top-Cowling Fit...
Dear Listers,
The RV-8's cowling done and fits like a glove. I started the baffling last
night and its coming along nicely. The fit on the sides and back are very
good considering the IO-390 installation (and the use of the IO-360 baffle
kit). The front baffling is completely different, however, and I'm slogging
through the custom fitting.
But here's my question. I decided to put the top cowling on top of the
baffling that I've got installed so far and I was shocked that the baffling
appears to be a good 1 to 1.5" too tall!! Is this because of the IO-390 or
is that just where Van's expects you to start in your
"cutting-it-down-to-size" phase? That's a lot of snipping and fitting and
snipping and fitting. I was expecting to have to trim some, but not over a
inch...
Also, it looks like the over-sized oil cooler is going to fit nicely on the
rear baffle with only a little "modification". But I'm not sure if the
back, upper corner is going to clear the cowling. Since the cowling is
sitting over a inch high right now, I've got no way to really trial fit the
oil cooler and check for cowling clearance until I trim the baffling down.
Worst-case I could put a blister on the cowling for the rear, upper flange
of the oil cooler, I suppose, but that's kind of hokey. There is room to
move the oil cooler in towards the centerline about 1", but then the mount
will no longer line up with the flange on the outboard edge and will require
more modifications.
Thoughts...?
Attached are some pics. ( Digest viewers check http://forums.matronics.com
