REFLECTOR: IO 360C1C installed in a std elite rg

[Gary T. Ciampa]

Jack,

I have an IO-360-C1D6 and with the factory forward facing exhaust the 
number #1 exhaust pipe does encroach on the lower cowling just a bit; I 
ended up fashioning a cowling mod, shaped like a small nerf football. 
However, the factory *does* have a pre-molded fiberglass piece for just 
this purpose, that they *should* have provided with the exhaust kit.

They forgot to send me the part in my kit, which I why I fashioned the 
football; I called the factory after the fact to let them know about the 
encroachment and they said, "oh, yea, we're aware of that, the piece was 
in your exhaust kit. arghhhh <G>

If the factory is out, I can send you my pre-molded piece for the price 
of shipping, as they subsequently sent me the part.

Let me know...regards

Gary
