Hi - assembling the FAB carb heat door and have a simple question. (O-320, vertical induction.) Is there a 'stop' for the door when carb heat is applied? The way the plans show the build up, the door can swing through 90 degrees, past the full closed position, which would leave the ram air scoop still partially open.
In flight I wouldn't have a way to gauge the full closed position of the door when I applied carb heat.
Related question - how important is it to achieve 100% closure of the ram air scoop? I currently have slight (1/16"?) gaps on the sides of the door. I'm guessing this would not be an issue.
TIA,
Lars
