If you want to see more detail double click on any of my pictures for an enlarged view.)
The 'extras' around the engine continue to find a home. Building the -4 is significantly different to the -9a, in that with the -9a VANS provided a plan and told you where to put things. With the -4 you have to decide. Complicating the exercise considerably, is the much smaller space inside the cowls than is available with VANS side by side aircraft.
In this picture I have found a home for the carb heat muff, installed the engine breather, and finally secured the oil cooler.
