I have an Air Spruce carb splitter (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/trikeslide1.php)in my drawer, but figuring out how to put it between panel and FW I have not..
Have any of you used these kind of splitter in your KitFox, and can supply a pic, please?
The thing seemes to be quite long, and needs in-line attachment with cables in two directions: the total lenght doesn't give enough room to make the turn to the openings in the FW for the carburettors - there does not seemes to be enough lenght/room back there...

Cannot help with that splitter - But, if this helps, my KF with an HKS has a splitter similar to the one shown here for the choke:

It is forward of the firewall, and not mounted to anything. I just hangs from the cables on both sides. ( Could not get a clear picture in the past, there are too many obstructions from every direction. )
Similar splitters are available from motorcycle part stores.

If you still have the throttle bell crank I would recommend using that with one of the high wing throttle bugs. I can synchronize my carbs from inside the cockpit with the engine running. The whole sync process takes less than five minutes after the engine is warm.
