| Got the Ram air controls connected. 1st thing was to install an eyeball passthrough fitting in the firewall, fortunately I had an |
|
| extra. Removed the instrument panel to get access to the inside of the firewall. used the paper template for marking the seven |
|
| 1/8" holes that needed to be drilled. Used the hole punch that from Harbor Freight to punch the center hole, Access from both |
|
| sides of the firewall is limited so this took some time. Remounted the instrument panel and connected the Ram air control cable |
|
| to the bottom of the centerstack and routed the cable through the fitting and then installed the eyeball and secured. Fabbed a |
|
| mounting plate for a couple of Adel clamps on the lower left side of the cold air plenum. Then the issues was figuring out how to |
|
| connect to the canister. I reclocked the butterfly valve by rotating it 90 clockwise so that the control arm was on the left side. The |
|
| distance from the filter/canister to the clamps on the cold air plenum was too great. So I needed to figure a way to attach a |
|
| bracket to the filter/canister so I could secure the cable near the arm. I used some alum angle & used the two #6 screws and |
|
| nutplates that hold one of the sides together. I extended the angle aft enough to allow room for an #3 adel clamp and installed |
|
| same. the control arm came with a cable end 'b' nut fitting which would accept a standard bowden cable wire. but I had this |
|
| button lock cable left over which had a rod end on the end. I removed the cable end fitting and installed a 1/4" OD - 3/16" ID |
|
| stainless steel sleeve/bushing in the butterfly arm so I can use an AN3 bolt and the rod end. |
