I'm pretty confused, almost like I'm missing drawings or instructions...
1. I have on 0-320 FAB kit from Van's (dated 10/05), but I cannot find any drawings showing the carb heat inlet flange as shown in this picture from Bill R's website. My 8x11 drawings and instructions that came with the FAB kit show the FAB door, but not the duct flange. Likewise, I have no drawings showing how the scat tube that would connect to that flange interfaces with the exhaust system. (And I certainly don't have any of that slotted muffler-type tubing, shown at the top in Bill's picture to which the scat tube would connect). I really seem to be missing something. Can someone get me pointed in the right direction?

2. Another question... a lot of other builders with carb setups show the FAB filter being sandwiched between the aluminum carb plate and a bottom aluminum plate connected with 5 long bolts. My drawings show the filter only being sandwiched b/w the carb plate at the top and the bottom of the fiberglass FAB at the bottom... no bolts hold the air filter up against the carb plate. Has Van's changed the configuration of the FAB such that my filter isn't sandwiched together between 2 aluminum plates and 5 long bolts?
Thanks for any clarification that anyone can provide.
