What I am trying to fix is the exhaust pipes move down during flight and end up resting on the lower cowling. In addition, one corner of the heat muff hits the lower cowling. Both exhaust pipes rest on the back of the lower cowling where they exit. It appears the Vans standard issue cross member where the verticle cable from the exhaust stacks attaches to control the verticle movement , does not have enough strength. This allows the exhaust to move down. Anyone have a fix for this?
My temporary fix is a cable attached to an upper horizontal engine mount via an adel clamp then to a turnbuckle, then to the cross member. It completely eliminates the sag but looks lie ****
I could use some ideas on how to strengthen the cross member to control the verticle movement of the exhaust stack. Thanks, Scott
