Notification 16-11-03 Relocating the Voltage Regulator
I made an enquiry to Vans Tech Support the other day about getting supporting paperwork to allow my mechanic to relocate the VR on my SLSA RV-12. Even though they now incorporate the relocation in current builds they said I'd need a Notification and they weren't planning on writing the Notification just yet so I was resigned to simply replacing the VR at the old location.
Apparently they took pity on me and relented and now my mechanic can relocate the VR I just received from Lockwood.
Vans say the cooling tube and shroud on the old VR position can be cut and removed.
I also asked their opinion as to the benefit of wrapping the exhaust to reduce heat near the current VR location ( since it was suggested to me as an option by someone) and they said NOT to as it could crack and weaken the exhaust.
I have to say a big THANK YOU to Vans, and Tech Support for responding so positively and so quickly. This is one of the reasons I chose an SLSA made in the USA : being able to contact them easily and being able to speak to them in person. Brilliant!
