Get TurboCad LE 4.0 off the web as a free download to view the drawing. My601XL_Z16h.dwg can be modified to suit your needs and it makes excellent documentation. Also I sent a few pics of how it looks in my aircraft. The Main Bus is identical mounting to the EBus1 pic but on the right side. If you want more pics let me know.

Thanks for a terrific response. Some ideas make sense, others I'm not sure of. Gave me plenty to mull over... and check into. Hopefully this has been beneficial to other newbees as well. Now I need to crawl back into my hole and make a decision...ha. Looking forward to working with you all in near future. Thanks again for the input.

We are HDS builder using a corvair engine. We had been advised by other builders to stiffen the fire wall to take the extra weight. I e-mailed ZAC on the tech line and they said to build the firewall like the XL and sent assembly diagrams. The two models are very similar so this seemed like a good plan. However, the material thickness of the parts are not on the assembly diagrams (photos). So I figured I would look them up on the web site under parts. Most of these parts have B numbers and are not in the data base I am accessing. I know these are all 6061and I am hoping someone can look at their XL plans and tell me the material thickness. The parts in questions are : 6B7-3 6B8-11 6B7-1 6B8-10 6G2-3 6B8-1 6B8-7 6B6-1 6B6-3 6B7-2 I can be reached off list at: Airvair601@yahoo.com Or phartig@mindspring.com --------------------------------- Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.

The drawing directly below shows that it is trimmed, somewhere where 7H5-3 and 7H5-1 meet. Hope this helps, and that looks like what I am going to do.
