Re: Fixing Cooling Ducting to Firewall=0A=0A--> Europa-List message posted
by: "MalcolmH" <mhendra@f2s.com>=0A=0AHi, I thought I'd update on progress
of fixing the ducting to the Firewall.=0A=0AWhat I found is that after pos
itioning the ducting assembly onto the firewall =0Aaccording to the photogr
aphs in the manual I indicated the available area for a =0Abolt using a mat
ker pen. I then put an anchor nut in a suitable position on the =0Ainside o
f the ducting within this space (similarly to the previous poster).=0A=0AI
then repositioned and drilled pilot holes into the firwall and what I thoug
ht =0Awas through into the footwell. Wrong.... I have drilled thorough into
the void =0Abetween the footwell and bottom of firewall. I cant positon th
e ducting in order =0Ato secure through to the footwell.=0A=0AI checked the
initial positioning by offering up the lower cowling and it looks =0Aperfe
ct.=0A=0AI suspect this anomaly is because I have the Classic fuselage and
cockpit =0Amodule/Firweall. I cant find any documentation to support this.
I do have the XS =0Afirewall forward kit.=0A=0ASo in short the ducting will
only be supported by the supplied brackets into the =0Afront of the footwe
ll. I suppose I could fabricate some further brackets to =0Asupport at the
sides of the footwell if needs be.=0A=0ARegards=0A=0AMalcolm Hendra (Kit 12
