Hi all,
Well, with the engine on, now starts the greater head scratching. My engine is an older model IO-320 that has a sump with a vertical oil pickup tube. Thus the screen access is in the center of the sump, and the throttle body is farther aft. To my chagrin, this makes the normal Vans FAB mount plate, and maybe the whole FAB, interfere with my nose gear. Suggestions?
I could probably just order a Sam James MK3 ram air kit. But then I'd have to swap my shorty James cowl for a longer one, buy the longer Sabre prop extension, etc etc etc. not impossible, but annoying.
