Jeff - I have looked at your tie down solution and quite like it. I am
going to do something like that but maybe, as you suggest, with only fixing ring
protruding from the bottom of the flap fairing.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the ideas gentlemen.
It's interesting to see that others have routed -
-through the s/steel panel using some sort of protective gland or AN
fitting.
-above the top tube of the u/c frame
-through the wheelwell roof and the firewall using rt angle AN fittings
-inside the ciockpit area, penetrating the firewall via the footwell
using AN fittings
-inside the cockpit area, into the wheelwell, along the roof and through
the firewall
I have the rubber fuel lines running along the top of the wheelwell as far
as the u/c frame and would really like to go forward above the top tube but
there is not enough clearance for this without cutting into the firewall
bottom surface. I don't see anything wrong with this if I make good on the
top surface with a couple of layers of bid.
So that looks like the way to go.

Hi Graeme
Agree with most of that. The problem with parallel pins is that you can't
be sure whether the pin is tight in both tubes and as you say any rattle
will gradually knock itself a bigger hole. Most of this damage occurs
during taxying of course. I haven't looked at taper pins, but they could be
subject to the same problem.

Hi all,
Has anyone prepared a formal check list that they work through for their annual
condition inspection ? If so could you forward me a copy.
Thanks, Paul
