Will this reduce the cost of the FWF kit? The UK ? to US $ exchange rate has gone so bad since we decided to leave the EU that my engine is going to cost me about ?4K more than planned!
It sounds like you may be talking about the notification that came out a while back (http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/letters/FF-1207_Cooling_Shroud_Mod.pdf). It involves modifying the shroud to give access to the engine mounting bolt that was inaccessible.With the shroud in place, there is no way to get a wrench on the top mounting bolts. For existing installation, I guess one could now drill some access holes in the shroud that would let you get a socket on those bolts.
Still trying to figure out what change alllowed the elimination of the FF-1207 cooling shroud. Does that mean that for us earlier builders, if we ever need to remove the shroud for any reason, that we can now eliminate it? Maybe they just figured out that the shroud was ineffective. To be honest, it never made much sense to me in the first place. Who knows!
