Firewall dimensions

M1chaelw · #1 01-18-2018, 04:04 PM

I?m looking at the possibility of adapting an RV cowl to another experimental. Does anyone know what the firewall dimensions of the different variants? I sent an email to James cowls about maybe using one of theirs and haven?t heard back. My firewall is roughly 32? across and 28? top to bottom. I?m curious how long the short and long cowls are from spinner to firewall. If anyone has one that meets these dimensions, I would definitely be interested.

Thanks,
Mike

Won't be an IO-360 RV-7 cowl. Mine measures approx 40" wide by 28" high at the firewall and 34" from firewall to spinner backing plate.
