Exhaust ( 3 hrs )
Installed lock washers under Exhaust flange nuts, & torqued to 190 in-lbs per 48-03, Step 7 & 8. Needed special 1/4" drive, 1/2" flex socket -- only way to fit onto nuts since exhaust pipe clearance is minimal (VAF has posts noting other builders found same solution. Surprised Vans instructions don't call out this tool requirement) Added Sniffle Line Assly per 49-18, Steps 1-6. Required adding Bottom Cowl Support Bracket plus couple more adel clamps.
