Hi guys - I'd appreciate your advice as I did not build my RV-6 and am struggling to find a replacement part.
In my RV-6 I have a carburetted O-360 installed. On the front of the airbox is a cable operated carb heat shutter. The shutter is attached by a piano hinge which is seriously worn and hole in the shutter arm that connects to the carb heat actuating cable is seriously flogged out (enlarged). Photos of the airbox and shutter assembly are available at:

What part should I order from Vans to replace the shutter and piano hinge? I think it's the "Filtered airbox - vertical draft" (http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?ident=1483412508-466-507&browse=engines&product=fab-vertical) but there's no detail about whether it includes the shutter and hinge:
Your advice would be appreciated.
