Christen Oil Valve Installation

[Ed T]

Oil valve in the S-2B is mounted on a section of the firewall that tips the top of the valve backward, and I understand this is to help the valve seat properly during knife edge and vertical flight. Firewall in my Skybolt is vertical, but I'd like to make a mounting bracket that duplicates this aft tilt. I was thinking something like 15 degrees off the vertical. Can some other owners or advanced builders tell be if this is in the ballpark? Thanks--Ed
