Carb to Fuel Injection

[Taltruda]

Preparing to convert my -4 from Carb to bendix style mechanical fuel injection. I have an updraft sump, what should I use for throttle and mixture brackets? Will my carb brackets work? I see AFP has brackets for the FM150, do those fit the RSA-5?

I used this bracket on my o-320 when I converted my -4 to Bendix fuel injection, worked perfectly.

Thanks, the description said it mounts between the carb and the sump.. that makes me think that perhaps I already have this same one on my carb and it may work for my fuel injection?

Vans has two different brackets depending on whether you are fuel injected or carbureted. So your existing bracket probably won’t work without modifications.

Tom,

If you need to offset your throttle/mixture cable(s) using the current bracket, check post #5 in this thread https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?t=196365
I used 1" square tubing to make an offset for my second throttle cable.
