Just a heads up regarding -8 finish kit hardware delivered recently and this may or may not apply to your situation. Yesterday, I was going to attach the engine mount onto the firewall. Dwg. 49 indicates using four AN6-24 bolts and associated hardware. I could NOT find those bolts anywhere and I'm usually pretty good at ferreting out obscurely packaged parts.
Frustrated, I called Van's. I was told the bolts are included in hardware bag 851. I told them my 4 page finish kit hardware bag list is dated July 7, 2006 and does not include a bag 851. After checking and rechecking, it was eventually discovered that for some reason, bag 851 was not included nor listed in my finish kit documentation.
The explaination I received was way over my head because it was related to computers and their application as a tool in modern inventory techniques.
In any event, Van's assured me bag 851 bag will soon be on its way.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
