Default Performance comparison available ?
I custom machined flush riveted ports with 1/8? npt hose connections inside on my first RV and they look very upscale. I read many references on VAF that Vans rivet works fine. So I just used rivets on my second project. Does anyone have facts to compare the two extremes ?

Van?s sells an optional static port that is held in place with a bolt inside the fuselage and replicates the shape of the standard SD-42-BSLF pop rivet. Do these count as ?stock? or ?other??

I installed the Cleaveland, but if I was to do it again I would installed the Van's optional port rv9builder mentioned. Wished Van would just ship it in the standard kit.
