Brief Description: Andair Fuel Valve
|
|
At Oshkosh, I took advantage of ordering an Andair FS202x7 fuel valve. I went to install it and found a few surprises. I wasn’t end the greatest of moods, since I just came back after being re-ended at a stop light a lunch. I’m ok and only the bumper cover was sacrificed. Anyways, back to the subject at hand. My first surprise was that I found a black anodized fascia plate. They charge extra and I didn’t order one. That didn’t bother me, since it would match the carbon fiber trim I plan on using in the interior.
I quickly looked at the plans and it stated to drill a 1.25” hole to mount remote selector. I did so and drew a set of perpendicular lines in preparation to drill holes to mount the selector and fascia plate. The remote selector and the fascia plate don’t use the same triangular mounting holes that the valve uses.
In studying the plans, it shows mounting the remote selector with the mounting brackets in a “x” configuration. I’ve included photos in this post and hope they come through well. They may shop up as attachments and may make my text look a little weird, since I’ve embedded them in the body of the email. I have higher resolution images if anyone wants them.
There is a copy of the install directions from Andair showing the “X” configuration of the selector plate in the first photo.
A quick glance at the fascia plate made it very apparent that if I mounted the selector plate per plans, I wasn’t going to be happy with the orientation of the text. For left and right to be positioned correctly, one hole had to be orientated forward on the tunnel cover.
The second photo shows the remote selector per the plans install procedure. Notice the position of the left/right/off indents for the pointer.
If you attempt to center the mounting holes forward and aft, then the indent for the off position for the pointer will be off center.
If you align the selector so that the right and left indents are centered and the off indent is aligned on the aft centerline, none of th
