The fuel pump is moved off the floor and mounted vertically to the bulkhead on the left side so the battery can be mounted to the floor. Running with a 180HP IO-360 and Hartzell CS prop. This has work out well for me and at least two other RV-8 builders.

I couldn't figure out how to mount the battery securely after having riveted up the floors. On the cables in back, I drilled a couple of holes, made doublers for the bulkheads and think it is pretty secure. I do have a tendency to over build things, so my bird will not be the lightest. Let me know what you decide. Regards, Michael Wynn RV 8 Finishing San Ramon, CA In a message dated 8/25/2012 2:54:48 P.M.

Specifically, I could use an additional set on the right side so that I can route the transponder antenna cable under the floor. I have the one set, matching the left side battery cable routing holes, which I intend to use for ADAHRS and A/P pitch servo cable wire routing. I=99m planning 1 ea. 5/8=9D dia. hole in F-806B at 2.5=9D outboard of the rudder cable hole and just outboard of the F-813R-1 Seat Rib in F-807. Van=99s has no comment. Guess the builder mod=99s here have been too many and varied to analyze each one. I=99m more than willing to go on past experience. Also question re battery installation. I=99m going with an O-360 and 3-bladed Catto prop, so I think a forward battery makes sense. Was looking at the lower right side of the baggage compartment, but that looks next to impossible in a QB. Has anyone else done that? Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
