Hi all
 
I want to order the fuse kit in the next couple of weeks and just received the fuselage list from Anne (at) Vans.
 
After going over it fairly closely, there are a few things I want to change out.
 
1) The aluminum cabin heat box for stainless.  I have found 2 aftermarket manufacturers.  Plane Innovations and Aviacomp International.  Anyone have an opinion on either?  I believe the Aviacomp is about $20 more each

The ones from Aviacomp weight 10.57 ounces each. The ones from Plane Innovations LLC weigh 6.08 ounces each. That's almost 9 ounces more for Aviacomp for the pair. May not seem like much, but every ounce adds up. And Plane Innovations has them in stock, ready to ship.

2) Vans fuel valve for the Andair, which I have already bought. The list shows the valve in bag #487-1, but plans show it as VA178G. I assume they are one and the same.

3) There are 2 brake hoses listed, F8105, which attach to the master cylinders and go up to the firewall. Have others replaced these with aftermarket?

4) Has anyone replaced the 3003 soft aluminun tube than comes with the kit with 5052-0 rigid tubing that runs from the firewall to the gear legs?

Anyother opinions or recomendations are welcome. Thx in advance.

I for sure would go with the SS hot air box setup they seal better and last a lot longer, aftermarket break lines and and replace all 3003 tubing with 5052 tubing without a doute
