I'm just now ordering my fwf kit. Since I'm getting my engine from Mattituck I'll not be needing Van's alternator. Is there any thing else in that kit that I should consider not getting? And does the current Vetterman's exhaust system have the longer tubes versus the earlier models? Thanks, Jay Rowe 40301

The Mattituck engine doesn't come with an alternator, does it? None of ours have. Is that new?
I believe the current exhaust still has the longer tubes.

The standard FWF kit from Vans comes with an automobile style
alternater. I would recommend using the 60 A plane Power from Vans, 60
a from B&C or 70 A Plane Power alternator.
Others have replaced the Vans hoses with firesleeved hoses. William
Curtis has a good write up on one of his web pages. Read it here
<http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/20Engine/hose.html>
Fire wall penetrations should also be thought about. Although nothing
in the FWF kit to replace, consider stainless steel fire wall
penetrations like EPM.AV <http://www.epm-avcorp.com/tubeseal.html> and /
or spherical metal grommets

Jesse: Mattituck tries to sell you their Nisson battery...at least it is in
their package price. But you can change it to whatever you want, which I
have done. Lots of the list folks have recommended either B & C or Plane
Power...I've gone with the latter only because it is a little cheaper and
has internal regulation. On Larry's recommendation I will call Vetteman's
directly abouy the length of the exhaust pipes in relation to the "tunnel
heating" and performance. If I hear anything earthshaking I will post it.
Thaink, Jay
