Firewall Forward Kit

Fuel Injection Servo installation ( 2 hrs )

Installed Avstar Fuel Inj Servo model AVX-5VA1 (serial # AV039955, part list # AVX3015006-1) to engine sump/air box with gasket #66224. All provided with engine from Lycoming.  Attached and torqued fuel lines.  Also consulted with Vans Tech Support, and decided to proceed with Sect 45 Cowling (from Finish Kit) next,  prior Sect 44: Spinner and Propeller.  Vans website provides Construction FAQs including "Simulating Propeller for Fitting the Cowl" - which positions the spinner backplate for alignment of cowl without mounting Prop, Hub, and Spinner.
