(Randy L. Thwing) 2. 11:47 AM - Re: C-145 lifter body face specs. (Dave) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:35:29 AM PST US From: "Randy L. Thwing" Subject: Continental-List: C-145 lifter body face specs. Hello all: We're overhauling a C-145 Cont. in our EAA affiliated Flying Club airplane. Our Lifter bodies (cam followers?) are in near perfect shape including the faces which engage the cam. We want to just lightly touch the lifter faces for renewal. Could someone please advise what coarseness (grit?) of stone or wheel would be appropriate for this? We have run a dial indicator over the face and it is not flat. The center of the face is 3 to 5 thousandths higher than the edge. This appears to be a straight, rather than radius (concave?) cut across the lifter face. Do we have that right? Can anyone advise what are the Continental specifications for renewing the lifter face? Angles etc. We have a lot of machine shop capability. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Randy, Las Vegas Chapter 163 flying club. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:47:01 AM PST US From: "Dave" Subject: Re: Continental-List: C-145 lifter body face specs. Well, Randy, not sure without seeing the lifter- BUT, I am reminded of my family doctor's favorite expression - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Sorry - couldn't resist.
