Finally got the guts to start tackeling the Filtered Air Box (FAB) snorkel. On RV-7As with 180hp IO-360M1B engines (horizontal induction), we get our engine air from the left cowling intake through a snorkel. However, Vans' snorkels are all built for the 200hp angle valve IO-360, which has a farther distance from the cowling intake to the fuel injection servo...which means my snorkel is too long and must be cut and rebuilt. I went ahead and did that, removing A LOT of material which I can rebuild later with fiberglass and cloth.
Image 3 shows the two halves after several days' work...I showed it here to capture the description above.
