RV-10 finishing kit-recommended deletions???

[tomhanaway]

I posted this on Matronics but might get a slightly different crowd here

Ordering my finishing kit in the next two weeks. Engine will be a IO-540.
Other than cowls ( I'm still undecided about James), what recommendations does the group have as to deletions because other aftermarket items seem to be better than the items furnished by Van's?

Or is the finishing kit really pretty good as is?
Thanks,
Tom Hanaway

If you go with the James cowling you'll need to delete the spinner and all the stuff that goes with it, because the James cowling uses a 14" spinner.

Oh, and I'd make the decision before you order the finish kit. I've got an extra Van's cowling sitting in the basement because I made the decision to go with a James cowling after I already ordered the finish kit.

If you go with the MT prop, I believe the spinner is included with the prop.
