Hi All,
I am finishing my baffles and laid up the VA132 FAB snorkle between the Horzontal fuel injector and the left air inlet. I was suprised to see the filter end of the FAB go outside ( to the left of the left air inlet) by about 2 1/2" . I will need to take a 2 1/2" section out of the middle of the FAB to make it fit.
I called Van's and they said they only make one type of FAB and they never heard of anyone having to modify one like this.
This is on a Superior, horizontal draft I0-360 180 HP engine. I can't see why this dimension should be any different than a lycoming.
I have seen some posts about having to take some stuff off the front of the cowl but I have not seen anything like this in the posts.
Anyone else with this problem?
