I got the carb heat parts from Robbinswings but I've run in to an issue that I can't quite figure out.
I mounted the hinge 1" aft of the forward edge as specified in Van's instructions. After mounting the hinge, I only have about 3/16's of material forward of the hinge which barely gives enough edge distance to install the top seal with the pop rivets. Putting the carb heat intake on would partially cover the pop rivets. Not good for future maintenance.
Has any one else run in to this issue and come up with a good solution? What about putting the seal on the cowl intake tube?
