Hi, I thought I'd update on progress of fixing the ducting to the Firewall.
What I found is that after positioning the ducting assembly onto the firewall
according
to the photographs in the manual I indicated the available area for a
bolt using a matker pen. I then put an anchor nut in a suitable position on the
inside of the ducting within this space (similarly to the previous poster).
I then repositioned and drilled pilot holes into the firwall and what I thought
was through into the footwell. Wrong.... I have drilled thorough into the void
between the footwell and bottom of firewall. I cant positon the ducting in order
to secure through to the footwell.
I checked the initial positioning by offering up the lower cowling and it looks
perfect.
I suspect this anomaly is because I have the Classic fuselage and cockpit
module/Firweall.
I cant find any documentation to support this. I do have the XS firewall
forward kit.
So in short the ducting will only be supported by the supplied brackets into the
front of the footwell. I suppose I could fabricate some further brackets to
support at the sides of the footwell if needs be.
