Firewall Forward Kit Inventory ( 9 hrs )
Rec'd FF Kit on Jan 4 via Fed Ex in 3 medium size boxes. One weighed 60 lbs, but other 2 were closer to 10lbs each. Spent several hours on Jan 4, 5 and 6 upacking, counting, and storing parts from 8 page list with my wife's assistance. Vans missed only a few parts out of a very long list, which I'm requesting corrections. Now I have the rubber mounts to hang the engine soon (to start 2 month compression set prior working on cowl alignment). Vans and Lycoming confirmed build date is Jan 22, so not long before receiving. I also have throttle cables so I can mock up position just above bottom edge of panel, vs original just below. This provides knee room to better accommodate my 6' 4" frame. I'm working with Stein Air on final details of panel layout...and they've recently ordered all the Garmin avionics.
