Default Fuel flow transducer mount question

The plans specify "high temp" adel clamps for mounting the transducer. Van's sent me regular clamps in the required size.

Has anyone else run into this issue. I would have called Van's but they're closed today and I'd like to get past this.

Thanks in advance

I have several regular adel clamps attached to the RV6's sump. No problems in 18 years. I'd use what Van's supplied and move on.

The important requirement is that the have stainless steel bands (not aluminum).
The ones you got in your kit should be stainless steel.

They appear to be Cad plated and have same designation as other adel clamps in kit

The WCH is a stainless steel clamp.
That is what should come in the kit.
I suggest you contact the office on Monday
