REFLECTOR: Angle spacer for servo

The angle adaptors are from Airflow Performance.  I believe that mine is 95
degrees, but they also have 85 degrees, 45 degrees and probably various
other angles as well.

The other fix is a 90 degree adapter which turns the servo along the 
firewall.  I don't know the source, but mine is a casting (aluminum, I 
think).  I have an IO360 C1C6 with the fuel servo mounting facing forward 
(toward the nose of the plane).

Some one on the reflector should know what these are and where to get them.

This makes the installation pretty easy to accomplish other than a fuel 
fitting that will be real close to the fire wall.  This fitting can be 
swapped to the other side of the servo and the blank off fitting is 
installed where the fuel inlet is.  If you take both fittings off, you can 
see all the way through the servo to the other side.
