I am getting ready to order both the Fuselage and Finishing kits for my -14A and trying to make a list of what I want to leave out. I got the list of parts from Anne at Vans but not all of the plans are online so there are a few parts I have questions about:
1) Are there any wiring harnesses included in either the Fuse or Finish kits? I'm not a fan of the molex connectors and will probably just replace it all anyway.
2) Fuselage kit has a PT 1/8 CLR X 12' (12'CLEAR PLASTIC TUBE). Is this for static system plumbing? I'm using the SafeAir1 kit...
3) Fuselage kit also has PT-062X1/4X15' (HI PRES BRAKE HOSE) and PT-062X1/4X9' (HI PRES DUAL BRKE SYS). Looks like these two pieces of tubing are the same thing, just different lengths. Do these two lengths cover all the brake line from the reservoir down through the brake master cylinders and on down to the fitting that goes through the bottom of the fuselage near the gear leg?
4) Finish kit has AT0-032X1/4X12' (SOFT ALUM TUBE COIL). Is this the brake line tubing from the fitting at the bottom of the fuselage down the gear leg to the brake caliper?
5) Finish kit includes qty(2) U-1023 (NOSE GEAR AXLE SPACER). Are these the spacers that go between the nosewheel bearings and the fork? These are in BAG 3215-1 NOSE GEAR HDWR.
6) Finish kit includes qty (1) U-1009 (AXLE). What is this for? I assume it's for the nosewheel since there's only one, but I didn't think the standard kit included a true axle for the nosewheel beyond the AN6-65A bolt that goes all the way through the fork, spacers, & wheel assembly.
7) Also curious about the qty (4) U-405 (AXLE SPACER) and (1) WD-1031-PC (AXLE FLANGE). Are these part of the main gear and nosegear assemblies respectively?
I'm considering using Beringer wheels and brakes, and Beringer says new axles will be required on the mains, hence all the questions about the landing gear and brake components.
Thanks,
