[rebel-builders] FUS-460

[N.Smith]

Hi Bob

I've left mine out.

From what I can remember it is intended to be fitted running forward from
the firewall by a couple of inches, sandwiched between the firewall top and
the skin that covers the behind panel area running from the firewall to the
top of the panel.

I think it's purpose was to prevent excessive heat from the engine coming up
through the fibreglass cowling and marring the windscreen over a period of
time. It also gave you a bit more room to fit the windscreen, although I'd
recommend you trim the screen to keep the forward edge at least aft of the
firewall.

I've made an ali cowling from 6061 so I left the FUS-460 off.

Hi Guys, I have another wonderment. The Elite has a part FUS-460.

Does it extend forward or aft of the firewall and is it placed above or
below the FUS-433 upper nose skin ?

It looks like it could be a wear strip for the windshield or run
forward to pick up the cowling top, hence the

confusion.

Anticipating any replies, Thanks , Bob
