 Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 11:18 am Post subject: B&C SD-20 and Oil Filter Adapter Update |
 |
|
I’ve been negligent in providing an update to the interference issue between the subject components. There are actually 2 solutions:
If you need these two items to play together within the next 6-8 weeks then you need the SD-20S version of the alternator and a “clocking adapter” to rotate the alternator 45 degrees on the vacuum pad. The SD-20S version is 5/8” shorter than the regular SD-20 to account for the 5/8” depth of the clocking adapter. The 45 degree rotation largely solves the interference problem, balance of issue is resolved by changing a bolt to a cap head screw on one corner of the filter adapter. This solution was provided to an RV-10 builder someplace in Oregon that needed a fix immediately to keep a scheduled date with a paint shop.
Long term solution is that B&C is going to manufacture a ¾” spacer and new shear coupling for their SD-20 alternator which also solves the interference issue. Simply moving the alternator back solves the problem. People that want to use both products would simply order the additional spacer (replacement studs for the vacuum pad would be included). This is what B&C sees as the preferred solution. Delay time is due to tooling and manufacturing lead times.
I’ve elected to go with the final solution and will report back when it’s installed. What a great company to work with!

Bob:
Thanks for the leg work on this. Just to clarify, the preferred option #2 involves no change to the oil filter adaptor, just the SD-20 mount? (So I can go ahead and mount that and wait on the alternator?)
Thanks,

Tim,
Correct. Bill said that you might need to make sure that the lower right bolt on the OFA has the flat oriented correctly but he wants to test fit the final production stuff to make sure. If there’s an issue they’ll send out a cap head screw to replace that single bolt.
BTW, very nice job on the center console – I might have to duplicate…

Got to give credit to one of my building partners/helpers, Ken. He did the center console work.
