If one of you guys states-side, next time you go to Home Depot or Lowes happens to remember and would be happy to buy 2 sets, and put them in the post, I'd kindly appreciate the help, and beam over some money or get it to you one way or the other? Here is what Bob says to describe them. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Aussie......home building. P.S. Where I come from there is no such thing as a brass fitting, only plastic. You'll need two sets of toilet-seat screws from a hardware store or plumbing shop (be sure to get "aircraft quality" toilet-seat screws - shouldn't cost more than $100 a set!!!). These will be about 3" long, made of brass and come with nuts and washers. They'll be .312" coarse thread. You need the ones with very low profile heads. You'll also need two (.032 thick minimum) heavy brass washers [8] with .312" holes in them and an o.d. of .500 to .625". ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:52:40 AM PST US From: "craig bastin" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Brass Toilet Seat Screws Requested tony go to bunnings, or a local bolt shop, you wont have any trouble getting brass screws, most chandlery (boat parts) shops also have them -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Tony Renshaw Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 6:17 PM To: europa-list@matronics.com Subject: Europa-List: Brass Toilet Seat Screws Requested Gidday, I'd like to make Bob Nuckolls External Power Receptacle and I need to get hold of the brass screws recommended.

Paul Mitchell has just reminded me that in the UK, the LAA have decided we must have both gauges fitted if we run 50:50. Fortunately, I have run Evans since day one and have experienced no problems.

Actually, having recently carried out this exercise, the difference between the two temps is so small that it is not worth fitting a coolant temp sensor (IMHO).

I need to replace the rubber block as the airplane is now sitting significantly lower than before. A the same time I would love to save some weight with getting rid of the hydraulic dampers. I noticed that among aircraft using rubber blocks such as Lancairs, Jodels, Mooneys, none is using hydraulic dampers, so I am questioning the usefulness of the dampers on the Europa. Has anyone experienced flying the Monowheel without the dampers ?
