Peter, Nextel gives an excellent finish which is very durable. My
understanding is that it is highly toxic and should be used only with proper
breathing gear. Also I think it was only sold to commercial outlets, but no
doubt you could get round that. It sprayed on easily enough in the hands of
my local expert. Regards, David Joyce G-XSDJ

Michael,
Many thanks for this info. Have found the Maxifuse okay on the
Australian RS-Components website but unfortunately can't find any
fuseholder with the Part No 250-6285.
Could you please confirm the 250-6285 Part No please Mike.
Thanks again, at least I'm now half way there !

Hi Martin,
I see from the Europa-List Digest that you consider replacing your Terra comm
!
I was builder nu 72 and compleated my Europa in 97. I made the same mistake
as yourself by installing Terra equipment - nothing but problems. The
transponder is now working ok after extensive/costly repair in the UK. However,
the
Terra comm is still a problem. I have already replaced the unit with a
second-hand one, but to no use. I am at the moment coping with a hand held unit
-not
very satisfactory. Both units ( TX and TRT) are mounted in a dual tray. Replacing
either of the units is a major job to the main panel for which I am not too
keen. I might be interested in buying your Terra comm if it is still working OK
and it does not mean taking out a second mortgage!!!

No. But if you work out the approx possible drag reduction it doesn't amount
to much. A few percent? Which would give a few percent extra mph. Probably
not easily measured, but when compounded by lots of other drag reduction
efforts, it all adds up.
My Europa isn't particularly fast (143knts max. S&L) but does seem to use
less fuel than many.
No logic there.

The failure mode of the diaphragm in the 264 damped flow sensor needs to be
considered before fitting. i.e. if it develops a leak then fuel and fuel
pressure will be lost.
I suppose the vent for the non-fuel side of the damper could be connected to
a closed vessel.

PS Does Broken Leg Dave really exist; I never heard of anyone getting a

I used the FH560 fuse shown towards the bottom of the page at:
http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/fuse-1/fuse-1.html
This has bolt-on ring terminals and takes a bolt-in strip fuse, available in
a variety of sizes.
The plastic moulding has survived unscathed forward of the firewall.
Don't know where you would get one in Oz.
Probably made in Taiwan!
Downside of CBs is a higher voltage drop than a fuse, which can be
significant in some circuits (eg some configurations of alternator field
current).

Nextel is a very specialized paint, needs its own primer and although it
looks very nice when new, tends to pick up dirt and dust easier than other
finishes. You cannot buy less than a 1 liter kit or both primer and finish.
I would prefer to black anodize the aluminium parts, that looks equaly
smart IMHO

I agree with Graham--I have used Nextel and would never use it on a panel.
It looks great when fresh, but you don't want to touch it, because it will
pick up fingerprints and smudges with the greatest of ease! Doesn't clean
up easily, either. I have done my Avid panel in plain old matt finish
black, which is much superior in practicality to Nextel.

Paul, Michael, Tony and Duncan
Up to the 'current' moment, I have considered many alternatives. Had
you good folk not lowered my 'resistance' to some of these, I fear I was
reaching the point where a sudden 'inrush' may have caused me to blow my
'fuse'. This could have had the 'potential' to ruin my day so I
therefore want to thank you for your valued assistance and hope you all
have the 'capacity' to accept my 'inductance' into the Europa
fraternity.
Seriously, much appreciated thanks men.

--> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw@optusnet.com.au>
Gidday,
I have recently purchased a Floscan from BrokenLeg Dave. He advertises a
Floscan 264 with built in dampening, but actually doesn't sell it. Why?
Well it isn't made anymore. (Source, Floscan) The model supplied 201 B-9,
is the model used by the EIS manufacturers, which is important because
whatever you buy and install needs to receive a signal and then calibrate
it into a fuel flow. As such it is imperative to get a model that is
compatible with the EIS system you intend purchasing. I have been in
contact with Dynon to attempt to ensure that their new EIS is capable of
being connected to our Europa Capacitance gauges, and I should do the same
about these Floscans too. From Dave by the way, mine came with a circular
dampening device and T for plumbing, the model stamped on the Floscan being
20B. I am assured it is the 201 B-9, but I wish the model was stamped in
full on it so that I knew definitively.
Quote:
"The 264 sensor did have an internal pulsation damper. The 20B sensor,
which is the entire assembly you pictured, uses a 201B sensor which does
not have that internal damper, thus the external damper that gets
attached to the outlet."
I have contact details at Floscan but would prefer not to circulate them.
If anyone wants to know more about Floscans, maybe I can be of assistance
in mediating the information, and save annoying people. They appear a bit
touchy, so best not to annoy them and not get the answers we need.

| Subject: | Attaching the doors |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" <VE3LVO@rac.ca>
Another cry for help..............
In attempting to attach the doors, I read that the #10 hardware which holds
the hinges requires that the upper surface to the 'tang' which holds the
hinge be inset for enough depth to contain the MS21042 nut. This nut is
1/4inch thick, but the rear tang is only 5/16inch thick. Therefore the
remaining tang would be too thin and flimsy to withstain door forces. (the
front tang is thicker but still questionable).
Am I the exception or has this been hashed over before [couldn't
find a suitable topic in the archives]?
What has been your experience?
Cheers,
Ferg A064

It gives a wonderful finish but......
Easily knocked or scratched if removing Panel, especially prior to shake
down and first flight.
Seems to go almost mouldy with continued touching. It's one of those
textures that people love to touch. They think its suede.
Strongly advise not to have inside of doors done as this really takes a
hammering and goes a really manky texture with repeated exposure to hand
contact.
Looks great and lasts when just used on front surface of panel. The panel
coming needs something more durable. The Panels done in leather or paint
seem to be more durable.
Yes.... Mine is done in dark grey Nextel! and shows signs of stress.
It's not the only thing....
