    Subject: Through the firewall
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Mike Gamble" <mp.gamble@tiscali.co.uk> Still trying to find the best way to get the rubber fuel lines through the stainless steel firewall. The good book just says go forward about 4 inches below the u/c bay roof then up and over the engine to the mechanical pump. I had thought of feeding the tubes through a hard plastic or metal duct from a point about 4 inches before the engine mount through the roof at 45 degrees then through the firewall but Andy is not too happy with that. I would rather not have to penetrate the steel panel with the rubber tubing so can anyone help with alternatives. Thanks as ever. Mike Gamble XS mono #440

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "G-IANI" <g-iani@ntlworld.com> Mike >Still trying to find the best way to get the rubber fuel lines through the stainless steel firewall. Going through the firewall itself is not a major problem. The two solutions I have seen are:- 1) A/C Spruce "stainless steel Firewall shields" P/n 61-300 Page 269 of 2--3 Catalogue The second solution was used by a very skilled blacksmith who really knows the material. Drill the hole undersize then hammer a mandrel through it to form the final hole. If you do this just right you get a nice transition curve and plenty of bearing surface. If you get it wrong the sheet stainless will tear and you will have more sharp edges in which case you revert to solution 1). The holes were made just big enough to take the required pipe/cable covered by a short length a larger diameter rubber tube. Sorry but no pictures available.

Spruce has several pages of AN bits. I used the above to run the return fuel line back to the tank inlet. Any AN steel fitting with a 35deg cone and (I think) a 9/16"x18tpi - for 3/8" bore - will be secure through composite or stainless steel walls, by means of appropriate washers and nuts. "Bulkhead" is the trigger word. Ferg A064

    Subject: Stall Warning Pressure Switch
    --> Europa-List message posted by: JEFF ROBERTS <jeff@rmmm.net> I placed this question a few days ago. Like the last question I asked, I didn't receive any solutions so I'm wondering if my e-mails are not being sent through the whole list. I sometimes get answers to other questions that I've never seen. Here is the question again and is there anyone else having this problem on the list? (Question) I have just finished the install of the stall warner but was hooking up the pressure switch when the instructions said to refer to the drawing. I didn't receive a drawing. Does the hose from the wing go onto the A side or the B side of the pressure switch. I assume the ground or hot doesn't matter as these are not marked. Is that correct? Thanks in advance! Jeff A258 Painted and working very part time at crossing things off the long list.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Alan Burrows" <alan@kestrel-insurance.com> Just to bang "my drum" a little more on the N reg issue. This a reply from a friend of mine in the USA who also the CAA's proposal for banning foreign registered aircraft. It's a bit tongue in cheek, but not much..! Alan Situation sux, big time. First your guns, now your airplanes. And then? According to their own figures, 500 to 1500 aircraft is 11 to 21% of the total NON TURBINE GA fleet in the UK - which tells me there are more C150/152s operating in the US than there are piston engine airplanes in the UK. And you guys are not a poor country - your standard of living is comparable to ours. Also tells me the CAA really *is* the campaign against aviation. Having taught the CAA PPL test syllabus personally for the past seven years, I can say from my own experience that the CAA is totally MIRED and utterly STUCK in the 1930s. The test covers such vital items like the 1 in 60 rule, and you saw how much good that did Amelia Earhart - who was the last person to actually try it. It also makes a big thing about the wet sump vs. dry sump difference between modern engines (anything newer than 1950) and archaic crap like the radial engine in a CJ-6 (Chinese knockoff of the Yak 52) - and just how many people learn to fly in Harvards or AT-6s or CJ-6s anyway? And they do love their ADFs - another utterly archaic, wildly unreliable, difficult to interpret relic of the dark ages of aviation. Bulletins from 2005 . . . GPS? Carbon fiber? Glass cockpit? Oh, no, we want you to fly a stick and rag aeroplane and navigate with Morse code. GBP149 to issue a PPL? And what do you get? A page of paper, and they write down your address so they'll know where to harass and bill you in the future? Remember me joking about the UK becoming the 51st state? Doesn't sound so much like a joke any more, does it? Best, Mike PS - Ela sends "her condolences".

    Subject: Stall Warning Pressure Switch
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "G-IANI" <g-iani@ntlworld.com> Sorry to hear you did not get a reply earlier. The problem is the aircraft is not to hand and it means taking the panel off to read the labels. From my pictures the pipe is fitted to the port on the side next to the right angle mounting flange. Hope this helps Ian Rickard #505 G-IANI XS Trigear Europa Club Mods Rep (Trigear) e-mail mods@europaclub.org.uk or direct g-iani@ntlworld.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of JEFF ROBERTS Subject: Europa-List: Stall Warning Pressure Switch

I didn't get any info with my kit either. The 61b PDF has the required info. ( twice ) The PDF files can also be download from: http://www.europaowners.org/dlman.php Under Modification files I've also attached a JPG of the wiring diagram.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: rlborger <rlborger@mac.com> Mike, For my two bits: I have not gone firewall forward yet (soon, but not quite yet). My plans are to use AN bulkhead fittings to penetrate the firewall. In theory, they will allow removal of the fuel plumbing at the firewall without disturbing the firewall, should it be necessary. Go to Aircraft Spruce and look at the AN fittings numbered 804, 832, 833, 834, 837, 838, & 848. I'm pretty sure some collection of them will work for your setup.

Only alternative I can think of is expandinhg pins. You will have to make your own. I made a set from the soft 1/4"stainless the factory use, taper hole in the ends and taper bushes to expand the tube by tightening AN3 bolts.Worked beautifully. Don't think PFA have approved this soloution but I did write to Francis years ago. Graham --
