(Roger Mills) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 08:35:11 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Torque Tube Fittings From: "flyingphil2" Hi, I have some surplus torque tube fittings namely 1 x TP9, 2 x TP11, 2 x TP12, 2 x TP14C, 2 x TP14D and probably 2 x TP10. Does anyone want them as spares? I'd like something for them but I'm not looking for silly money. If you are interested, please let me know your torque tube diameter and I'll measure them and see if they would fit. Thanks, Phil Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=290448#290448 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:06:39 PM PST US From: JEFF ROBERTS Subject: Re: Europa-List: Door hinges to fuselage Will, It's been a while but as I remember I used an aluminum spacer between the bottom hinge and the fuselage. So it would set right even with the fuselage I taped the spaces to the bottom hinge around the edges only. The applied a small amount of redux mixed with a bit of flox to the area on the fuselage where the spacer would rest. Make sure you have release tape anywhere the goo might touch. The idea was to use the mixture as a way see that the door & hinges would be flush when closed. You would want to trial fit everything with the spacer taped to the hinge first. If the door is proud of the fuselage top then remove some of the spacer with a grinder then re fit. If your door is low when fitted then you can add some more redux flox mixture. I remember having to sand just a small amount of the door top to come out exactly to the fuselage top but at least you know the hinges fit perfectly even this way. Hope this helps, Jeff R.
