I'm thinking that I may add a fuel pump cooling shroud

some time, just because it seems like a prudent thing to do

given the heat of the engine compartment.

I found one at:

http://showplanes.com/index_800.htm



Does anyone know of any alternate suppliers?



I just added about 4" extensions to my exhaust last night.

Haven't flown with them yet.  As many of you found at OSH,

the older exhaust systems are shorter than the new. I figured

I'd see if it made any noise difference, or if I can notice

any heat difference.  I don't have enough heat that

it will be easy to tell, but if suddenly things are cooler

then it'll be a plus.  If it's quieter, that would be nice

too, although it isn't super loud.  Just more little

things to tweak the bird closer to perfection.

Tim,

  On my engine (0-540-E4B5)  which I harvested from a Cherokee 6-260

the fuel pump came with a simple cooling shroud fed by a 1" scat tube.  

The shroud is super simple and may be easier to fabricate than source.  

If I can remember, I'll send you a picture.



Bob

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Nicely anodized and

cheaper too.  Thanks Werner!
