Forward cockpit arrangement

[Sam Staton]

I'm in the process of installing equipment forward of the spar -fuel pump, etc. I have obtained RV7 interior parts to use with it - fuel valve attach, center section (with cabin heat vents, etc.). Since I haven't installed the spars yet, I am unsure of clearances and how the parts will work. If anyone is willing to share info (pictures, measurements, etc.) I would be eternally grateful! Thanks in advance!

Check out this build site for some pictures

Sam, Gary Christensen's kitlog site has some pictures and descriptions where he adapted some RV7 parts to his 6A build. Here is a link to one page looking at the forward center tunnel.

I'm still working that area.

Part of your solution will depend on the type of fuel selector you use. I am using the Andair one and it causes changes near the spar.

Don't forget that your bracketry has to support the aft end of the inner two floor stiffener angles, and note that the RV-7 center "tunnel" cover will probably be too short.

Thanks!

Wendell - I figured you would have info on this! Gil - thanks for your input - I am discovering this also.
