I just wanted to see if I missed something before I gave Vans a call...



Vans supplies 6 feet of SSP-120 for the cowl side pins which use 34 

inches of that.  That leaves 38 inches left over.



In the FWF kit you need 2 x 17 inches and 2 x 19 inches for the baffle 

rods on page FF2-17.  That means you need 6 feet of SSP-120 to fab the 

baffle rods, yet Vans does not supply ANY SSP-120 with the FWF kit?



Am I missing something or are you expected to order and pay for another 

6 feet of SSP-120?  It's only $7.00, but I'm sure the shipping is not 

cheap for a 6 foot tube with one $7.00 piece in it.

Please disregard.  I found the pins in the baffle kit.  Go figure that 

baffle parts would be in the baffle subkit.   Not enough coffee this 

morning yet.

I had enough in my kits.  As to which kit they came from, I can't say.  Parts were mixed in with the other kits as they arrived.  I know that this doesn't help your situation.

My friend here at the airport used stainless allthread that he bought at the 

hobby shop. They have all kinds of sizes for pushrods and such. I built the 

stock ones out of the hinge pin and I don’t like them much. It was really 

hard to thread them properly and even harder to get the nuts on the ends. I 

am going to switch them out the next time I have the cowl off.
