Geez, I'm really at a stage where nothing seems to fit quite right. Like many other before me, I need to make an FAB mount plate with more offset. With stock setup there's only maybe 1/8" between FAB fiberglass and side of the lower cowling scoop...and I figure I need at least 1/2" to account for engine waggle. I've already notched the cowling to clear the mixture arm, and will glass up a "speed blister" to cover it.
The good news is that I won't need to rivet the aluminum recess into the FAB itself for mixture arm.
What's a good alum. alloy to make a new VA-131-C out of? I'll probably go with 0.090 thickness, as some have experienced cracks with the 0.063 stocker. I'd like to get something that's available through ACS. Stock piece has the number 3073A5, but I can't find anything that matches up.
Thanks!!
