Recently I have some troubles with my brake on the monowheel,
- I replace lining, cleaned and polish piston.
- I change the torique seal and use a standard industry model (approx same dimensions)
the tore diameter is a little bit more may be 0.1 or 0.2 mm the material
is in VITON.
Now all is ok.

We've removed the cracked/leaking tank from G-CHOX, but the factory are out of
stock of new tanks.
Does anyone in the South of England have a tank that they haven't installed yet,
that we could have now and then replace with the new one from the factory when
it arrives. Probably in 2-3 weeks.

Hi,
Does anyone know when the tank design or manufacturing process was last changed
by Europa?

I have been taking advantage of the spell of warm weather to fit the wings to the
fuselage in the back garden and make a few checks, as there is not room to
rig them in the workshop.
Embarrassingly I have discovered that a while back I somehow managed to get the
wing for and aft lift pins set up so that there is a 6mm gap between the bush
in the seat back and the bush in the port wing (however the spar still looks
roughly parallel to the seat back)
It's been a long time since this was done and I don't really want to retrace my
steps to that extent so I'm considering mounting an aluminium or steel spacer
on the seat back to cover the gap (I can still just about get the pip-pin fully
home).
The question is, has anyone else been here before or have any advice on this particular
goof?
Thanks
Bill

Hello gentlemen.
I still have xs A145 with gas tank.
I always thought I would perforate with 2 inch (51mm) holes well staggered
about all sides.
Then glass inside and out, using the shape and reinforcing areas of need.
What resins might be best for such an upgrade?
Nic :)

I'm intrigued w/ this concept, but am leery of potential problems
regarding differing coefficients of expansion of dissimilar
materials...Would this be an issue?
Always open to learning something new,

Fred,
I have read the stories of failing fuel tanks while landing in trees.
While a challenging feat to be sure, the tank shouid still not fail.
Aluminum would suffice but I already have one sized to fit.
I always figured the inner layer bonds with the outer layer throught the
holes.
This should encase the plastic which now would merely provide the shape.
I think I would also make a removeable lid panel to mount all tank access
through.
I have several motorcycle fuel pumps for 50 psi output for my CBR engine.
Nic :)
