Peter,

I have the same aircraft, engine and prop with 500 hours on it.  Email me at grb99 at icloud.com and I’ll get you whatever you need.  Where are you located?

Regards,
Glenn

I've got a pretty good idea of where the brackets mount and what they look like, but I'm seeking pictures to verify.  The mystery to me is the induction stuff.  According to the factory, there is no supplied airbox, inlet or anything like that.  That's all up to the builder.  They suggest using SKET (sp?) tubing, not SCAT tubing as the SCAT tubing could collapse if the inset wires pull out of the liner.
