Firewall penetration for IO-360 fuel line?

For the RV-7/9, does anyone have the coordinates/location for the fuel line penetration for an IO-360, vertical induction?

Carl,

I used the stock location (for fuel injection engines) from the FWF plans. Actually, that's a lie. I ended up putting it a little more to the left of the firewall because in Van's location it will interfere with the starter solenoid terminal. Mount the solenoid first and the location will be crystal clear.

Carl,

I don't recall where the "standard" location is, but I ended up putting mine through the doubler on the bottom center of the firewall. If I had it to do over, I would wait until I had all the "other" stuff mounted and then sort out the best place to put the hole.

Thanks for the replies. As I am quite some time from having the FF and engine, I was just wanting to see if there was an easy option without waiting so I can finish up all the forward cabin items including the fuel line from the AFP pump. No biggie to wait - just was hoping to 'check' that item off early.
