Once I saw the RV-14 firewall forward pictures and noted where Vans located the Red Cube flow meter I had a better understanding of where I wanted to put mine, and that was not on the firewall and not near the spider. I could not place it in the exact same location because the mixture cable bracket had to be located on the underside of the sump/engine flange instead of the top per plans, leaving too little room.
Another important item that determined where the Red Cube should be is the bend radius of a -6 (3/8″) AE466 or AE666 hose which is 4 inches. Cutting a half circle of 4″ radius showed me where I could place the RC in relation to the mechanical fuel pump. This is the best location for me.
Built a little shelf out of some .060 stock with a generous bend radius. It’s held in place with two adel clamps on the left side of the motor mount, one facing up and the other facing down. This is a shot looking upwards.
Picture looking down at the Red Cube and the two adel clamps holding the shelf. It’s surprisingly sturdy and will be even more so once the -6 fuel hoses are connected. The mechanical fuel pump is slightly higher by about 1 inch.
The output has a straight shot under the mixture bracket and then turns right to the fuel servo.
Another picture. You can see how the hose assembly will angle downwards about 60 degrees by looking at the output fitting on the mechanical fuel pump – top center.
GPS Antenna Shelf installed. It wasn’t as sturdy as I wanted after I added the lightening holes because I removed too much. I added some small angle on the two diagonals. Now its very stiff.
Michelle, Brittany, Bryant and I went to the California Science Center and saw this on Saturday. It’s awesome.
