* Hints
** If you have the Aerosport panel with a center console, the fore/aft position is determined by mating the arm rest with the center console.
** If you have a stock panel, the fore/aft position is determined by where you want the fuel valve handle to sit. Not too close behind the throttle quadrant so you can reach it and not too for forward as the throttle quadrant may be too far aft.<br>Steps:
*** Make a roughly 2.5 x 4.5 inch doubler for the Andair fuel valve from 64 to 80/1000 inch thick aluminum.
*** Put a 30-31 mm hole in the middle.
*** Clamp the doubler below the Vans fuel valve bracket with the center hole aligned.
*** Pick 6 locations and drill #30 holes with good edge distance for 1/8th rivets to secure the doubler to the Van's bracket.

  • Hints
    • If you have the Aerosport panel with a center console, the fore/aft position is determined by mating the arm rest with the center console.
    • If you have a stock panel, the fore/aft position is determined by where you want the fuel valve handle to sit. Not too close behind the throttle quadrant so you can reach it and not too for forward as the throttle quadrant may be too far aft.
      Steps:
      • Make a roughly 2.5 x 4.5 inch doubler for the Andair fuel valve from 64 to 80/1000 inch thick aluminum.
      • Put a 30-31 mm hole in the middle.
      • Clamp the doubler below the Vans fuel valve bracket with the center hole aligned.
      • Pick 6 locations and drill #30 holes with good edge distance for 1/8th rivets to secure the doubler to the Van's bracket.
