Hi All
I popped over today to visit a friend who is building an RV7. While I was there, we had a look at the Mixture linkage. As a lot of other people have found, the Silverhawk linkages either have no offset or a 0.938 offset. With the 0.938 offset, the linkage fouls the lower cowl. Looking at it, the ideal thing to do would be to use the zero offset 252004 linkage and space it out from the injection unit by circa 1/8" so the it does not foul the mixture stop screw on the side of the injection assy.
Does anyone know if I could get hold of a spacer like the one I have mocked up here? Or does anyone know of another arm that has less offset than 0.938? If no the above, are the serrations on the linkage a US standard? ie could I get a standard serrated spacer and marry it up with the linkage?
Thanks for any help and advice.
