I have searched the Threads and posts and can not get a clear answer on this one.
I have an Aerosportpower IO360M1 which is driving a Hartzell C/S prop.
I opted for the VANS firewall forward kit which includes the MT Prop Governor. Can anyone give me some advice in relation to this installation - specifically:
The MT Prop Gov has four primary holes on it for oil transfer whereas the extension mount on the engine only has two holes. One of the additional two holes transfers oil through the curved "groove" however the other will effectively be blocked when installed. Is this OK?
The ASP engine also has an extension on the prop gov mount. This extension rotates the relevant mounting position from vertical to 45deg to the right and the oil line is redirected into the extension (the previous hole being plugged).
It appears that the MT Prog Gov will fit however i am concerned about the reltionship of the oil transfer holes (as explained above) and also the control arm ends upside down meaning that I will have to undo the six perimeter screws and rotate the centre to align the control arm suitably.
Further to this there is only one position the bracket will fit which results in the cable coming in high under the oil filter (enough clearance but ends up fairly close).
If anyone has been through this set-up and can advise or send me some photos it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't want to remove the tie wires unless I am sure the MT Prop Gov is correct (in case I have to return it to VANS). In a nutshell I need to know it will be OK before I dive any deeper.
Thanks,
JON.
