I had removed the plastic and primed the bracket before fitting it in place. When I did it was much wider than the area the plans have it go into. I assumed I must have received a bracket for a -8 instead of a -8A. So I called Van's and they sent me one with the correct part number, which is identical to the part I have which means I had the correct part all along.
My question is I obviously have to cut this part down, though the directions do not mention anything about this and there are no guide lines as to where you want the valve hole oriented left and right between the support and the longeron. The picture is the part as delivered on top of where it gets bolted into (it would go under the support and longeron). The bracket is lying in the approximate location as seen on the plans. How did you other -8A builders cut down this part, did you just center the valve in the space between the longeron and the support brace?
Cheers
