--> RV9-List message posted by: "Steve Sampson" <SSampson.SLN21@london.edu>
I need to order some cowl heat protector from VANS. This does not seem to be
included in the FWF kit but I seem to remember was reccomended in RVator
some time ago. Anyone got a clue how much I will need? (It sells 30" wide
and by the foot.)

Some time ago there was a discussion about the parts provided in the FWF kit
for carb heat. It ended (I think) with the conclusion that VANS do not
provide parts to take air off the exhaust but just take air out of the lower
cowl. Yet they sell a heat muff!
If this is correct, my question is what is the concensus on the efficacy of
this? I would have thought the air barely warm enough for this purpose?

That is incorrect.Vans offers a carbheat muff that attaches to the front X-over
exhaust pipe and supplies (somewhat) heated air to the airfilter box.

Steve: I ordered 4 feet of the stuff. It was 'enough'. You have to cover
those areas near the exhaust completely - I have the crossover pipes and 4
feet was enough. If you want to cover the entire lower cowl (for looks)
then order 5 feet. If you want to cover the upper cowl (for whatever
reason) then order 3 or 4 feet more. I am happy with 4 feet in total.
However, I did prime both upper and lower cowls and painted them with white
heat-tolerant paint before applying the cowl heat protector. Happy
building.

Steve and Werner.
Bear in mind that within two or three inches of the carb heat system is the
degree temp. Vans has a lot of planes flying with this system.
Being a northerner, I have more caution concerning the cabin heat. I am a
Canadian who will be flying X-C in winter. This system looks weak for this.
I may buy the end plates from ACS for constructing the second heat box -
which includes BOTH exhaust pipes. If necessary, I may add a couple of
Delorne seat heat/vibrator units. I may test one in my car. God luck.

Dear Ernest,
Do these ACS endplates fit the Vetterman cross-over exhaust, considering the *center-to-center*
dimensions/-distance of the two pipes?
Thanks,
Konrad

Thanks all for your comments on the fuel line. I ran the port side
through the bottom hole on the first bracket and down under the outboard
bracket with a stand off., Ran out of tubing for the starboard
side,ordered some more from Vans (Pretzels in the trash can)

I have access to "Brand New" (in original packaging)
MIL-T-43435B Lacing Cord, Type 2 (Polyester / Hi
Temp), Finish C (Synthetic Rubber or Elastomer, NOT
Waxed), Size 3 (50 lb min strength; 0.085" wide x
0.014" thick). This Cord is used extensively by
avionic shops and airframe manufacturers to tie
individual electrical wires into bundles for their
avionics, etc.
* Least expensive way to make wire bundles.
* Will not cut into wires like Dental Floss used
by some Builders, as it is "flat".
* Higher Temp rating (-73 Deg C to 177 Deg C)
than Type 1 (-55 Deg C to 121 Deg C) that is
sold by Aircraft Spruce and Chief Aircraft for
$21 per Spool.
* Each Spool contains 500 yards of White or Blue
Polyester Cord. (Share with other Builders.)
* Excellent "Knot" retention.
* See: www.versatileindustrial.com/gudebrod.html
for additional info / pictures.
* Will sell for $15 per Spool - includes
shipping in the US.
