Hi  

   

I am planning to install an access plate into the fuse tunnel so I can access my fuel pumps without removing my center console.  

   

Can anyone tell me what the rules are for spacing the cover plate screws? I can’t seem to find anything in the usual reference materials.  

   

Inquiring minds need to know

The 'rule' is ...... how many screws do you want to remove while you're standing on your head in the belly of the beast in the summer heat????  

 Depending on the size of the access plate, one screw in the corners and one in between the corners should do just fine.

absolutely - it is the fuse so a four screw solution doesn't quote work.

Cheers

Les sometimes its better to contact the engineering  department at Vans as they designed the 10 and run it by them.

The access plate for the stall warning horn might be a start. They are 

both 'structural'.



Obviously, what Chris said applies.

Another alternative for those not wanting to manufacture their own access

plate is available from Dave Ward.  (www.airward.com)   It's a little

expensive, but Dave provides a nice prepackaged solution.   Dave is also the

gentleman that sells the parking brake assembly through Van's.

Hi Bob



I spoke to Dave this morning and decided to go with his solution. He also

sent me a message offline as he monitors our list. While it is good business

to stay in touch with your potential customers, it is always nice to see

when suppliers make the effort.



Thanks for the heads up.



Cheers



Les
