Vans Firewall forward

[hydroguy2]

so getting ready to move Forward. So need to get more pieces-parts coming.

Was the Vans FF kit worth getting or is it just as easy to piece it together.

It depends on how far you have strayed from the standard Van's plan.....

The FWF kit does come out a little bit cheaper on sum of parts but a whole lot cheaper when you consider shipping charges and time it takes to find all the correct stuff.

That being said, you can delete the stuff you don't want and recieve full credit for it.

Looks like you have a few differences from standard so you will want to do your homework to see what won't work in your case.

I figured with my non standard stuff, it may be a hassle trying to send stuff back. I looked at the Vans web store and saw an example list, looks like I could delete quite a bit. I've already bought solenoids, battery mount and don't want the prop governor, cooler or the cables.

Anyone have a FF list for a IO-360 M1B, please send it to me. bkcarroll@mt.net

I'm sifting through the FF kit list. I've been deleting a few items and may trim some more. So I have another ?.

Are Vans oil hoses the ones to get? I'll already be ordering fuel lines, so thought I may as well get cooler lines also.

Brian,

1.00 VENT DL-03 2" ALUM FLANGE

This is garbage. It will probably break off in no time. I used an aluminum flange from ACS, p/n 10350-8.
