Default Show Planes Cowl & SJ Plenum
Anybody using this combo on an -8 or -8A? Do the inlets on the 2 line up properly? Also, what kind of issues with the nosegear and exhaust routing, if any?

I like the SP cowling (epoxy, honeycomb, I can ship it with my FB kit), but I want a plenum...without laying it up myself.


Thanks for any info-

Joe

Joe, It will probably line up fairly close but if it doesn't it's not that hard to cut and reposition the inlets. The rest of the plenum fits the stock Vans baffling pretty good. Don

It's under products. I like the looks of it. I contacted them about a -7 cowl, but was told they do not have one at this time.
