Does anyone in the group have experience with the Sam James cowling and wheel pants? I know Randy Lervold did (rv8a.com), but I believe he had problems due to the first batch out of the mold. I have asked around and have yet to get feedback, but I keep thinking someone has experience to share. Questions include:
* Any fitment problems with the cowling for the o-360 model? Did you use vans standard attach HW, or did you use something different? Other than the cowl, anything else need deleted for the cowl and plenum kit from Sam James?
* Does the wheelpants provide a speed increase over the new pressure recovery pants? I have heard positive things about them, but I have not seen any direct correlation to the new style vans pants. Also, I understand the James pants mount a bit low...any other installation problems that need to be understood?
Thanks,
Scott
