 |
|
I have been working with Paul to modify the heater valves as I believe the
product is very solid and seeing the RV-7 vents that have small lips around
them I asked if he would make one like those for the RV-10. I believe he is
working on this and it will be a Must have as Mike has mentioned.
I am rather certain that the hot tunnel will be diminished. I'll report back
once I have the new valve and have completed the heat gun test. I trust
based on the products so far that it will be a worthwhile investment. My
reasoning is what good is a stainless steel firewall with a weak aluminum
valve that gaps/leaks when there is the option to have stainless steel valve
that has lips that blocks the gaps.

Paul Bowmar at Plane Innovations LLC (formerly of EPM-AV) has an excellent
and thoroughly tested products.
He sells a 2000 degree silicone seal for his fire protection kits. He will
sell you some at a reasonable price. This stuff should be a lot better
than the red goop........I bought some myself.
Bowmar also sells the stainless steel heater valves to replace the
aluminum Van's valves on the firewall. I consider this a MANDATORY Option
(along with the rivethead door pins and CNC trim blocks) when you are
building this kit. It would be foolish to spend a lot of time on hi-temp
sealant and ignore the biggest risk area on your firewall. As I recall the
Plane Innovations SS valves are $200 and Vans will give you a $100 credit
on the aluminum ones deleted from the kit.
