Is there a shorter oil tube available, if not what adhesive works on Lycoming plastic filler tubes.

I then prosealed it all together and held it in place with a couple of pull rivets on each side of the cut. Works like a champ! -Mike Kraus RV-4 Flying RV-10 Hanger flying and working on the fuse and IP -----Original Message----- From: owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Stan Howes Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:15 PM Subject: Engines-List: Filler tube for RV 4 --> Engines-List message posted by: "Stan Howes" The oil filler tube on my Superior XP-360 is too long and needs to be about an inch shorter to clear the inside of the top cowling on my RV4.
