I've run into a couple problems trying to match Van's Firewall Forward

Kit with the Superior XP 0-320.  The first is the control cable support

plate that fits between the engine and the carburetor.  The mixture

cable threads do not reach to the plate, requiring some type of

extension to be added to the plate.



The second challenge is getting the FAB to mate with the carburetor.

The main throat hole in the FAB mount plate will have to be enlarged,

and the mounting holes will have to be redrilled to match the

carburetor.  The carburetor also has a protrusion on the bottom for

which a new hole must be cut.



Has anyone else encountered these problems and developed modifications?

I had similar experiences with my IO-320 on an RV-9 - I have the AFP fuel injection so I had to fabricate all my control cable terminations myself.  I had to replace the stock fuel controller engine studs with longer ones, fabricate my own FAB mounting plate and re-glass the inlet to fit the canopy.  You just gotta do what you gotta do to make it fit.
