Wayne,
I'm at the same placeinstalling brake lines. I have no part labeled VA 188
but do have a VA 118 which came with the finish kit. These lines go from
pedals to firewall connection. My plans also call for aluminum tube from
gear mount to wheel brake. I have considered flexible for this connection.

Wondering if anyone has discovered a cover or cap that will seal Vans
standard fresh air vents into the cockpit. Flying my RV-9A in upstate NY
now (70 hours) and air leaking thru the closed vents brings in to much
cold air. Any thoughts?

I had good success with the following:
was the inner surface of the eyeball to act as a release agent.
seal the opening with black rtv on the surface of the "flapper" that moves toward
open.
when cured gently open and trim excess. no leaks.

Thanks all.
I called Vans this morning and they told me the brake lines come in the
finishing kit . The fellow who answered my call couldn't understand the
logic of " why the finishing kit not the fuselage kit" either. It sure looks
like it would be easier now than after I have stacked a bunch of aluminum on
top of the pedals.

Wayne,
If you order the brake lines now don't forget to get the firewall doubler plate.
You will still have access to the brake/rudder pedals for a long time but it
easier to do now. Don't rivet on the front deck until you are absolutely sure
you don't or won't need any more access to the front area.

If I were building over again - I would get the finish and FFW
kits at the same time as the fuselage kit - there are a number
of tasks that step on each other if you follow the usual order

Gerry,
I second your opinion, if space allowed I would want the entire kit ready all at
once.
