Can someone who has installed Kelly Meiste's unit on a Fox please post some pictures of the installation?

There is a lot of info to go through... the most expensive one you can buy 

is a heated unit at  http://www.liftreserve.com/  if you decide to buy one!

 Randy,



 Below is the reply from Kelly, along with a shout-out to you.



 His kit is at http://lri.kit.googlepages.com and looks really

 good, at the same price you paid for it. I'll be getting one!



 Thanks again for the reference Randy,

 Hi Bob,



 Thank you for the info, glad Randy is enjoying his kit!



 Here's the link to my website, not much has changed.

 lri.kit.googlepages.com



 Price is still the same, but I've added a few more options (black

 gauge overlay, and a longer tube option).



 Thanks for the interest, let me know if I can answer any more

 questions for you.



 Best regards,

 Kelly



 PS. Feel free to post anything about my kit (good OR bad).

Marco,



 I am building, so the attached photo may be of little help to you, but I 

might offer a couple of suggestions.  If you have a spare wing rib from the 

original kit, you may be able to fabricate a mount using that that you could 

insert through an inspection ring.  Or you may be able to fabricate a mount 

that will clamp to the tube between the fore and aft lift struts allowing 

the probe to extend forward under the wing.  This latter idea might be the 

easiest as you may be able to route the tubing down the lift struts rather 

than fishing it through the wing.

One more thought after looking at the photo again, the six rivet like 

projections surrounding the cutout are nutserts.
