I just hung my IO-360-M1B and am starting the process of figuring out what goes where. I noted that Vans makes and sells a part in the drawings that is a 3 part firewall mounted manifold for the oil pressure, fuel pressure, etc.
I'm curious if any of you have just mounted these sensors (in my case, the Dynon ones) directly on the engine vs. using this remote mounted manifold. Maybe there's good reason to use the manifold and I'm just not far enough along to know it..perhaps the sensors won't fit on the engine, perhaps its too hot near the engine, etc.
It just seems like it would be more prudent to mount the sensors directly on engine vs. adding additional hoses to run back to a manifold.
Anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks!
