Subject: | For Bud: Oil hose replacement |
Ira=2C
I had Amazon hose supply me with the high pressure steel braded hi temp stu
ff sold for marine use for Racing at $8-10 a foot. When my 914 dripped oil
all over the place from the turbo return line being the supplied European
braded hose=2C I decided never to scrimp on hose again that is under heat o
r pressure. Steel braid is not necessary in a Tri gear (in my opinion) aft
of the fire wall. Technically=2C the steel braid makes the proper tighten
ing of the hose more difficult.
A couple of links I used before when looking for braided fuel hose for Amaz
on to find for push on (barbed) fittings that I thought would work are:
http://www.delikon.com/marine.html
http://www.paragonperformance.com/fuel%20line%20hose.html
You know I use only Aeroquip FC332 push on blue hose for my oil lines if th
e client allows. Great up to 250F=2C push on fittings work great and don't
leak. With aluminum heat shield over it where it is near exhaust or engin
e components it gives long service life. It is just not real flexible.
Parker or Aeroquip hose for hi temp oil/petroleum is great also anywhere fo
rward of the firewall=2C but are usually suited only for non barbed fitting
s such as AN type or SAE threaded fittings. Frankly=2C I see Rotax going t
o all crimped fittings and AN connectors on the new engines. We builders s
hould take a lesson and have our hoses made up with proper fittings for the
firewall forward.
Too bad I am cheap=2C and NAPA high performance fuel injection hose covered
by Parker fire sleeve/shield is a hard combination to beat for fast=2C ful
l proof=2C hose clamp and barb fitting amatuer builder (like me) type const
ruction.
Just my opinion=2C

Subject: | Re: Windshield care |
Ira, John, and all who cares to see:
I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but I did get a response from the
author(Tim, nice guy) of the article.
The author's information was received by him, as second hand information.
Here is a bit from the email response:
"The "dis-recommendation" came from a resoration(sic) company. They don't
sell any products, just services. They're pretty famous for windscreen
restorations in bizjets, particularly."
Still, there is no information on why it is not recommended or the type of
person who originally said it. I doubt Tim knows, either. It is strange that
there never seem to be any first hand, detailed accounts.
So anyway, here is 1 bit of negative report in a sea of many, many, many
positives by motorcyclists and plane enthusiasts alike.
With no details, I will leave it up to you to decide whether you want to
give it credence, or if you think it is just a data outlier (a data point
outside of the norm to be thrown out), or if you just don't give a dang.
One thing seems sure: The sun will probably do much more damage to our
windscreens than the protectants we have been discussing (ones long used on
plexi).
This thread can gather dust now, hopefully.
Regards,
Greg
Ira,
....
I have sent off an email to the Author in an attempt to find out.

Greg Fuchs A050
