I am building a RV9A (same fuse as a 7A) with the Vans supplied IO320 and the new nose gear. It has a Avstar throttle body.
The factory holes in the fire wall for the throttle worked out well, but the mixture hole recommended for the new nose gear not so well. The mixture cable in the recommend penetration location does not go by the new nose gear nicely. The factory-recommended hole is shown by the blue tape.
I drilled a new firewall hole for the mixture cable and it worked better.
The new hole is next to the throttle hole in the oil filter recess area. Here is a picture of the new routing.
The cable lengths supplied in the Vans firewall forward kit are perfect.
