    Subject: 912 new oil pressure sender and gauge wiring
    From: "graeme bird" <graeme@gdbmk.co.uk>
    I have just struggled to get the oil pressure readings on my new 912 install with the skydrive VDO gauge and new style sender (mainly because I thought it was oil purge/thermostat issues). The information supplied with the gauge was sparse and misleading. In case anyone else is a the point of wiring, New sender is current based 4-20mA and requires +12v (red) and signal to gauge(white) the gauge needs ground and signal, not power and signal. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Build nearing completion Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=338033#338033

    Hi David I cannot help with the instructions but i vaguely remember that the Benwick transducer wasn't allowed by the PFA/LAA because it didn't have a clear bi-pass for fuel if the impeller seized causing fuel starvation, it would need checking with the PFA/LAA first if i was you, regards Ivor G-IVER On 24 April 2011 20:00, David Joyce <stranfaer@btinternet.com> wrote: > can anyone on list mail me a copy of the Benwick fuel flow system > instructions / manual? > > > TIA > > > rgds > > David Joyce (the other one) > > > Sent to you from David Joyce > www.eastmidsspas.com > > > * * > > * > > * > >

    Bob, I did troll through Mcmaster's site yesterday but the missing piece of data I need is the strength of the spring. I don't want something too strong or it will distort the doors. I guess I could pull mine off and measure what they are and get the something a little stronger, but I was hoping someone had "gone before me" so to speak. Thanks for the tip though, Paul > Paul, > > McMaster-Carr ( http://www.mcmaster.com/ and search "gas springs") has a > broad assortment of gas springs and a good information page.

    Paul, I am in the same situation as you. I tried McMaster to no avial. They have some that are close but not quite the same, and I don't want to relocate mounting brackets. I have been told that Europa supplied ga s springs can be recharged. I did notice that there is a schrader valve , so maybe they can be recharged with nitrogen. I need to take a closer look when I get some time. ErichN28ET Classic Mono 914 Hi All, My gas springs don't seem to be able to hold the doors up these days and I need to replace them. I was wondering if anyone happens to know of an equivalent gas spring that can be sourced in the US. The Europa supplied gas spring is made by Industrial Customline in the U K with a p/n of GS8699-1.

    Guys, Kim Prout and I discussed the same and we have a US manufacturer that will refill the struts. We need 45 lbs normally as we are now using a thicker window which is heavier than the original glass. I will be talking to Kim when he gets back next week and will arrange for the first set to get Nitrogen refills. We'll test and report back to the group. I too have looked for replacement struts, and off the shelf does not work quite right. I'm lazy, I don't want to have to move my fittings.

    Guys, At Flight Crafters, we use Easy Lift of North America for gas springs www.bansbach.com part #B333F46-100-300/160N which is an exact duplicate of the Europa Supplied strut. I recently ordered with 2 more pounds pressure 300/165N. Price is around 95.00 each plus shipping. If you need 45 pounds, they can make them up as the normal Europa strut is 30 pounds. Also you can order with or without the valve. Generally they won't recharge if they are over a year old with the recharge cost at 20.00.

I recently ordered some with 2 more lbs. #300/165N. They can make them any pressure you want with or without recharge valves. Recharge cost is 20.00. The cost is just under 100.00 each or less depending on how many you order. Bob Berube
