RV7A - IO360

I'm planning to install 5/8" blast tubes from baffling to fuel pump, 1 mag,

and alternator.



Routing and securing to baffling is easy but any tricks on securing the end

where the component is so the cooling

blast actually hits the fuel pump?  Adel clamps stategically placed?  Pics?



Thanks

Steve

Run a hanger or other stiff piece of wire through the inside of the blast 

tube, bend it in any shape you like, then secure the hanger to the blast 

tube with RTV.  Clamp the tube to structure as required along the outside.

Steve,

  

 For the Mag I attached a clamp to engine and just aimed the tube at the mag.

  

 For the Alternator, there isn't any convenient place to attach a clamp. I took a piece of wire, bent loops at each end the size of the outside diameter of the tube. Bent them 90 degrees, slipped them over the tube and then bent the wire so that it was "aimed correctly" I used RTV to keep wire in place. 

  

 I don'thave one to the fuel pump

  

 Seems to work so far

Threaded brass rods will also work in place of the heavy wire.  I have used 

the bent rods with safety nuts or nuts with lock washers and the safety wire 

with success for holding blast tubes in place.  Larry in Indiana
