I've read numerous posts regarding different options when installing the engine. Does anyone know of a list of recommendations for items to delete from the Van's FWF kit. I'm installing the IO-540 from Lycoming with 1 slick and 1 pmag.

Its been awhile but IIRC I deleted most of the hoses (which I replaced with ones from Tom at TS Flightlnes), the alternator, and the oil cooler mount/bracket (which I had bought earlier so I could install it during firewall construction).

I'd delete the Pmag and move on to something that's actually available. 

It was ready to ship within the next two weeks at least 7 years ago.



If you are going with the stock Lycoming, Van's cowling, Hartzell prop then the fwf kit is adequate. I upgraded all the hoses to integral firesleeve from Stratoflex. If I were to do it again I'd get the fuel hoses with the red external firesleeve on it. It may keep the fuel inside the hose a bit cooler.

Also, delete the hose that's connecting the fuel injection servo and the spider and get two shorter ones to connect the fuel flow sender in between there.

It's been awhile but assuming that the kit includes the black baffle 

material, I'd delete and replace with a sheet of silicon material.  Easy 

to work with, virtually like new after 900 hours, the orange/red looks 

good too.
