August 14, 2007 - Firwall Forward Kit arrives

 The firewall forward kit arrived from Van's.  This will be the last kit of a long line:  Empennage, Wing, Fuselage and Finish.  All sorts of goodies were in the big box.
The Wiring Harness subkit was part of the FWF kit.  I was surprised by how many thick cables were in the kit. 
I was also surprised -- and dismayed -- by the number of Baffle Kit pieces.  The good news is that supposed they are pre-cut to the correct size and go together a lot faster than in the past. 
The Air Box.
The Vetterman Exhaust system.

Control cables:  Throttle, Mixture, Prop, Carb Heat and Cabin Heat.

That's the gasolator reinforcing plate in the upper right. 

Plus a lot of other miscellaneous items. 
Thought you might like a view of the "parts" room. 
After edge-smoothing the gasolator reinforcing plate, I clecoed it to the firewall.  I was surprised by how substantial the plate was.  That gasolator is not going anywhere.
