I am starting the FAB install. The top mount comes with a hole that you use as a guide to install the top mount to the thick plate that would attach to the fuel control with bolts. This makes a pivot point that you then use to rotate the top mount to get FAB lined up with the scoop inlet. Well the AFP injection has a compression ring so the entire FAB can be rotated.
My question with the long explanation is did you use this hole? What I have done so far is fit using the hole but I set it up so that there is no edge distance issues for the holes that will get drilled for the nut plates in the top mount. I am then adjusting the position of the ring (rotating) to get the final fit to the inlet. If the hole was not already there I would drill the plate to the top the mount centered and then just use the rotation of the AFP mounting ring to position to the inlet. So anyone using the AFP injection, I would appreciate knowing if you used this hole or not. If I center the plate then this hole is left open which does not seem like a good idea.
Cheers
