Looking at the new drawing, there is also a diagonal brace riveted to the lower front firewall that must be a fairly recent addition. At least it's not shown on 29A-01 Rev 0. My older kit doesn't have the brace, and the stiffener indentations pressed into the firewall are a different pattern to mine as well, obviously to accommodate it. Does anyone know why the brace was introduced?
Received the parts and directions for this 'fix' last week. Whata company!!! Thanks, Van's.
Are they gonna put it in for 'ya???
You can pull the oil tank full of oil without any problem. How do I know? I've done it a few times already. I plastic bag the oil lines to stop the drips and make a buckshee oil tank holder out of a cardboard box. It's really quite easy.
I sure wouldn't drain the tank as suggested.
