| Subject: | Door Lugs - serious problem |
Hi Jeroen,
Got the ship with the old style position of the gas struts. Changed them to
new style but didn't use the very expensive Mod66 and used thin pieces of
aluminum almost like Roger did.

Hi Jeroen,
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt:
http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=64400
To see my fix, go to my build album, Year 6, Q1, 2007, page 4, starting with
picture DSCN5547Ann and going to DSCN5558Ann
The fix has been working quite well since that time.

I have nearly finished fitting my doors. Last weekend I put in the ball
fittings for the gas struts. I put on the struts, and with a felt pen in
hand to cross off yet another historic chapter I gently closed the door.
Crack!!- the lug had not just broken off but practically disintegrated.
See http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=105733
Shocked but assuming this was a one off I moved to the other door. Mindfully
I treated this very carefully, but even with light hand pressure the lug
also came off forthwith.
I understand from another builder that there should be an aluminium plate
inside the lug, but there certainly are none in mine, at least not in the
position of the hole.
Anybody had this same problem? If so is there a repair method?

| Subject: | Tri-gear conversion part |
Looking at the manual it calls for a space OR9 and was wondering if anyone knew
the dimensions of this spacer.
I'm converting my mono kit to a trigear and some of the parts have already been
assembled or already taken out of the bags so I'd like to be able to identify
them.
Thank you,

It is 0.20" long and fits an AN-3 bolt or screw (OD=0.25" & ID=0.19").

Identifying the small bushes can be a problem.
To help I have put up a table I created this year with the details I have.
When I get round to it I will add some notes on what they are used for.
Have a look at the Club web site.

Ian,
Excellent job! We've needed something like this for years. If I can find my old
inventory listing, I'll see if I scan it in and pass it on.

Ian and Bob,
Thank you for your replies.
Another thought is a list of US part that shipped to Europa and are renamed would
be helpful as well; for instance the main gear axle castle nuts are from Matco.

No need to look for your inventory list as I have them for the Tri-gear.
I also have a parts index done by Rowland Carson (for a mono) which could
also be helpful. The problem is finding the time to make the go through and
cross check everything.

I also have a list of the source of many parts which we started to create at
the time of insolvency in 2004. I have been adding to it in the years
since. Andy Draper also has various records which could be useful.
As time permits I will publish as much as possible on the Club web site.

Dear All
My fuel sight tube is about to be renewed. It does not seem to be very
accurate. Is there a more reliable installation position than the pilot
footwell?

Wow Fred,
I know you said you used Mr Bowmans molds but that looks real impressive. Wonder
what a set of those would cost to have some talented soul, with more time than
me, to have made?? If you get my drift.

| Subject: | Re: Question for 914 users |
Many thanks once again Gilles.
Mine is nothing like yours. As I said a little while back, I'm letting sleeping
dogs lie at the moment. I'm certainly getting plenty of power on take-off so
I don't think it is worth stressing over.
When I found the blocked up filter in the line to the sensor, I jumped to the conclusion
that the "problem" was solved and now I can't be sure if I checked the
actual hose well enough.
The new filter I fitted was a bit agricultural so when I get to fitting a better
one that I have now purchased, I will do a more thorough check of the line itself.
Thanks again for your most appreciated follow up.
Hope your recent flying was done in more pleasurable conditions than we are experiencing
over here at the moment. Stinking hot here, rough as bags and dreadful
smoke haze with minimum visibility takes away all the pleasure.
Cheers
Kingsley

I installed a fuel flow computer, the tube in my tri gear is useless. The fuel
computer won't detect a leak but in normal use its brilliant. Fuel left in the
tank, range left, time left. An alarm when it's time to switch to the reserve.
