Konrad... here is a message from Van's. I was asking because I am
considering the Sam Jame's cowl.
===========
Mathew,
The RV-6,7,9 all have the same firewall. There are differences in
the cowl bottoms depending on engines. In most cases, the -6
cowl will fit the -9.

Thanks for the cap info! It never dawned on me that the nut was just a
jamb nut! I took your advice, and now I'll just have to do some flying on
this beautiful day to check it out! This also saves me from having to
clean fuel stains off the wings periodically. Thanks!

I gave what I could afford. I am reminded of this with today's mail, when I got
a tax receipt back from the organization. Maybe now is the time for anyone
who has been procrastinating, to donate. My 2 cents for a worthy family and cause.
DO NOT ARCHIVE.

Albert - a couple of questions on that. How did you get the old one out?
Mine is so tight I was not sure if it was an insert or somehow machined
thart way. Were VANS able to sell you a new insert or did you get one made
up? Steve.

I also had a fore-and-aft movement of my nose gear leg that seemed to be
caused by the steel tube insert that holds the upper end of the nose gear
leg in the motor mount being a few thousanths large at the lower end. The
vibration occured as the mains touched but before the nose wheel would
touch. Replacing that steel tube insert cured the problem.

The RV-7 and RV-9 fuselages are identical Konrad. Thats how Van's keeps his
prices (and inventory) so low. In case you didn't realize it, the RV-7 is
an RV-9 fuselage mated to the aerobatic wings and tail of the RV-8. I
suspect the RV-6 fuselage is also the same dimensions at the firewall so a
-6 cowl should fit on the -7 and -9. It's the wing mounting structure and
Vee shaped forward fuselage bottom that are different on the RV-6 (RV-7/9
fuselages have a flat bottom under the wing spar carry through structure)...
along with a few other subtle changes that make the RV-7 and 9 parts able to
be designed on CAD and punched out on the CNC punch machine.

Greetings,
Does anyone know if the cowlings for the -6, -7 & -9 airframes are
interchangeable?
In other words, are the firewall dimensions of the side-by-side airframes
the same (or at least pretty darn close)?
Thanks for any input,
Konrad
