|
I'm working on FWF and engine install activities, and got to the point
where I was ready to install my prop governor. I'm trying to install the
MT governor that Van's provides in the FWF kit, on a Superior XP-360
engine. As provided from the factory the XP-360 has a cover plate over
the prop governor drive pad, with a Superior-supplied gasket under the
plate.
As I read through the MT install instructions they discuss installing
the governor over four studs coming off the governor drive pad, with
specific torque values (of course). All nice in simple ... except I
don't have any studs. Instead the cover plate is held on with bolts.
I assume the -right- path is to acquire the correct studs for the MT
governor installation, install the studs into the drive pad, then install
the governor (as called out in the instructions) with the newly installed
studs.
Can someone confirm that my assumptions are correct? And, if oneone is
using the XP-360/MT Governor combination, did your engine come set up
the same way? And ... finally ... does anyone happen to already know
the correct studs to order? Thanks!
-- Dwight (going back to do "other stuff" while I wait to
get an answer on the prop governor question ... )

Call Superior and let them know what you need. They'll get the right studs
to you in no time. I'm a bit surprised you don't already have the studs;
are you sure the engine is for a constant speed? Is the prop oil line
installed? Mine, which I built at the build school, came with the studs.
Anyway, I can vouch for Superior's tech support. In fact, I called about
the tach drive earlier this week and the chief mechanic himself gave me the
info I needed. They'll get you straightened out and hooked up.

Patrick,
I'll give 'em a call. And, yes, the prop oil line is installed. Thanks
for the heads up on their tech support!

You will need SL31C-19 studs for the MT prop governor.
