Hello All

I am a RV-7A “Forever” builder. I primed the pictured parts some time ago and cannot now identify them

Anybody recognize them?

Thanks Much

The bottom ones look the the ribs that go into the wingtips. Never seen the top one. I’m through the finishing kit.
 
The first part, hat section-ish, is the floor for the large (Concorde? Oddity PC625) battery, firewall mounting option -- See DWG 31
The triangular parts are W-412 and are installed inside of the wing tips, see DWG 9, Zone 9-B & C.

I have no need for the battery tray….

Side note - that battery tray can be easily modified to fit other batteries. I modified the stock tray in my RV-10 to hold two PC-626 batteries, in the RV-8 to hold the aft PC-625 and modified another tray to hold the forward PC-625.

In other words, don’t throw it away!

Thanks Carl.
But.... I'm doing two ES PC 680 batteries (EFII system). Already installed

I wasn't going to pitch it, it has too many bends and CNC holes in it for that!

Take Care
 
How about that. I wonder what aerodynamic laws are in play for that to happen.
All the more reason to make sure they're in there!
