Robbie,
Does the new sump land the servo in the same place in the nacelle as the standard Lycoming one and therefore will all of Vans air box stuff fit without modification? Does the standard Vans vetterman exhaust fit the engine without modification? Does Vans throttle and mixture control bracing work with this sump or do you have to make your own?
Do you think the flange of the intake manifold will be stout enough for long-term support of the weight and arm of the Bendix servo. It looked absolutely OK for the ECI throttle control w2hich is a lot smaller and lighter then the Bendix one but after a quick look at OSH, I thought it might be a little thin for the Bendix..what do you think? I haven't looked that close or measured anything, just a quick observation.
Wow, does you engine have a rotary fuel pump? Or are you going to change out the accessory housing and fuel pump drive to accommodate the ECI fuel pump system after such a short period of running the Bendix system and the standard diaphragm fuel pump? Or did you change while installing the sump?
Good Luck,
Mahlon
