Folks,
I'm in the process of installing my roll bar...RV6A slider QB #60431.
Here's my problem:
Plans sheet SC-1B (as well as old preview plan SC-1) shows the aft edge of the roll bar (not base plate) 33 1/4" aft of the forward face of the firewall and 3 1/8" aft of the 604 bulkhead riser.
Plans sheet SC-4 (old - preview plans...the new ones don't show it at all) also shows that the base plates for the roll bar weldments are 5 1/2" from front to back.
The base plates for my roll bar weldments are only 5 1/4" from front to back. If I place the aft edge of the roll bar (again - not the base plate) as far aft as called for, the forward bolt hole for the base plate to canopy deck attachment falls around the forward 604 bulkhead riser plate.
What is the correct dimension for placement of the roll bar? Do I have an incorrectly assembled roll bar? Did I miss a plans change?
Please advise,
Ralph Capen
