After long last I'm past the worst of my canopy work and am on to doing FWF

work. Finally. I need to order cables (got convinced by someone to go with

Cablecraft instead of the Van's standard cables) and need to build hoses to

fit my configuration. So I'm looking for some info, if I can find it.



I am installing a Superior XP-360 with vertical induction and an Airflow

Performance FI system. Given that this is a non-standard setup (from Van's

point of view) the plans don't speak to this specific configuration. I'm

doing a little head-scratching of my own, and think I know where I want my

throttle/mixture/prop cables to come through the firewall, but thought I

would ask others with a similar setup where they punched their holes.



And ... if you do have a setup like mine, did you -like- where your cables

exited the firewall? Did you hate it? What would you do different given

what you know now? Any information/insights will be welcome.

Dwight,



I'm in the same point in my build.  I have the same setup except with an ECI

engine.  I found that the firewall layout location for penetrations is fine

for the throttle but the mixture location is way too high.  I am planning to

use the called-out mixture location to run my Purge valve cable and drop

down about 5-6" and run my Mixture.



I sure hope that others who have gone before will input.



Have you found a supplier for the CableCraft cables?

Dwight,

        I used the throttle position given by Van's as it was good.  I

used the mixture cable I got from Van's but it was a bit short.  I forgot

that you can get a longer one.  I did use it and I ran it through the

fire wall inset on the lower left corner and curved it downward past the

fuel pump and down to a custom termination bracket mounted to the upper

mount on the AFP mount.  The mount was pieced together with parts from

AFP and welded.  Look at my web site and I think I have some pix on the

instillation.
