OK - I almost give up......

I got Vans Firewall foreward documentation......every time I turn around I am getting referred to a page that they didn't include....

I have been referred to RV7 plans dwg 28 for the vent line holes in the lower foreward outboard corners....from what I can see on the other drawings it appears to be about three inches inboard from the fuselage sides and about an inch back from the firewall. Can someone look at their drawing 28 and tell me what the distances are relative to what - please!

I'm looking for the same info for where the vent lines go out the sides to the fuel tank - But I am not sure that the 7 and 6 are similar enough to not worry about the bracket that attaches the foreward edge of the fuel tank to the side of the fuselage...I remember reading that the wings were different - but I don't recall how.

Thanks loads,

Ralph,

I share your frustration, since I am a 6A builder and looking at 7A
firewall forward prints. But , if I compare my original fuel line,
brake line, vent line plans to the ones from the 7A, I feel a lot
better. The 7A drawings actually show things in detail with isometric
views. Wow, so thats how you route and mount all that plumbing!
Don't give up! It is only a vent line fitting hole! Smile

From the 7 preview plans: Sheet 28 only points to a pre-punched rivet
hole in the floor pan (third in from the outside edge) with a note to
enlarge it to 7/16" for a vent line fitting. What is missing.......the
location of the pre-punched hole of course. Same story for the side
fuselage vent line location. (FYI, the location of the vent line exit
from the tank is different between the 6 and 7 drawings, so the fuselage
side penetration is probably different too.)

Here is where I put my vent lines.
Floor pan: almost exactly where you guessed. Approx. 3..5 inches in
from the side skin, and 1 inch aft of the firewall rivet line.
Side skin: forward of the tank to fuselage attach bracket.

Let me know if you need a better explanation. I can send you some photos.

Steve,

I'll take the photos - please.

Also, what is the distance from the main spar to the tank/fuse attach
bracket? I haven't put my wings on yet - I'll probably have to wait till
then to do the side vent holes.....I would like to put it forward so I won't
have to go around the vertical support inside....

Thanks,
Ralph
