Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 3:03 pm Post subject: throttle bracket for superior io 360

I have a Superior XP+ io360 with a composite sump and  forward facing  

Precision EX injection.

The throttle bracket that comes with Vans firewall foreword kit. will  

not work.

The Composite sump mounting points are spaced differently and are  

angled.

Has anyone out there encountered this problem and what has been the  

solution



thanks

Dave, 

  you may wish to visit the precision website (precisionairmotive dot  com) 

and see some installation photos, or call Paul Kalgren there.  Paul is  a 

wealth of information.  Have you also discussed this with Superior?   I'm sure 

they'd help as well.

Hi Dave, 

 

If you go here: _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XP-360Forum/_ 

(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XP-360Forum/) ,  and on the left side under Photos, you will 

find a "Misc." file. Inside it are a  bunch of pix of a throttle bracket I made 

of steel. It is some 4130 I got from  the scrap heap at Van's, measures .055 

thick. Any sheet metal shop might have  it, or if not, I'd be happy to  mail 

you a piece. HTH

Dave,

  I had the same problem installing Superior's engine in my RV8. I fabricated an aluminum bracket which I bolted onto the composite sump and used it as the termination point for the throttle cable.



  If desired I will mail you my shop drawing of my bracket...Let me know your "snail mail" address if interested.The drawing is the end result of several days of cut and fit and may save you some time.

Jerry:



I went by Aircraft Spruce and Harbor Freight today.  I got some 4130  

(.063)

and a 4 inch vice break. I've never tried this before -- should be  

interesting.

Hope to come up with something that looks sorta like your pictures.



Thanks

I bought some 0.063" 4130 sheet steel and a vice break to bend it today.

I thought I would give fabrication a try.  But I would be very  

interested in your

drawings.  I called Superior today and talked to Fred in their tech  

support.

He sent me some pictures that are the same as those listed on the  

XP-360 Forum.

There were also some pictures of a Vans throttle bracket where they  

gave the

stock bracket an extra bend.

I just installed a home made bracket on my engine and used 1/8" steel.  The 

2 previous brackets that I purchased were made of the same material.  No 

idea if this thickness is required but I wasnt going to take a chance.

Id be real cautious about making a throttle bracket of aluminum. Steel will  

absorb vibration and stress much better. That is a critical piece because if 

it  breaks, you have no throttle control, that's why Van's are steel. Just my 

.02,  YMMV, etc...

I measured the ones from Vans and they were 0.063 and seemed plenty  

strong.

But there is nothing wrong about going for more strength.  I just  

don't have the tools

to bend 0.125 and do a good job of it.

Oops, I said 1/8", should have been 1/16".  Sorry.  That would be a pretty 

tough bracket.
