    From: "alan_hunter1664" <alan_hunter1664@yahoo.co.uk>
    I've started to put together my door latches and drawings indicate the shoot bolt push rods are connected to the operating handle with AN525-10R8 screws with a AN960-10 and a AN960-10L washers under the head. with this configuration the screw only just makes the thread of the link bar. The link bars have been constructed in accordance with the dimensions in the build manual. Anyone else come across this issue?

    Hi Alan, I suffered from this interference for a long time. It seems to come from the screen on the Skyforce. I tried all sorts of suppression but as the interference is from the screen, direct to the radio, not in the wiring nothing worked. I eventually increased the suppression on my Becker radio and it disappeared.

    Hi Will, Keith=99s advice is spot on, although I felt I did have to remove the starter motor, also changing the angle of the water outlet slightly. Just take your time, I did mine on the dining room table much to the consternation of my good lady who questioned why I was taking a new engine apart!

    Are you sure the parts you describe are not pivoting on Spring Pins, EUR007, and not bolts?

    The Earth is once again nearing that fabled position in its orbit around the sun informing us that Sun N Fun is nearly here. Time to start planning the Annual Europa Engineering Meeting! As it happens, I am in Seffner this week after a lovely flight in the Europa from Georgia to Plant City. I will scout the favored venues to make sure they are prepared for our boisterous crowd. Perhaps we can start planning a meeting time. Personally, I would like to see an evening between Wednesday and Friday.

    Richard and Keith thanks very much very useful. Richard, I notice that you said "changing the angle" whereas bud's advice is to change the elbow from 80 to 45 deg - did you change the elbow or did you just turn it to get a better angle? Secondly which manual did you use to dismantle the water pump?

    Hi Will, I don=99t remember changing the elbow, think I just repositioned it. The clearance is very tight, but it=99s a few years ago and I would have to drop the cowling off to remind myself. At the time I was =99smarting=99 a bit as Skydrive supplied the mount loose and then informed me I would invalidate the warranty by fitting the mount myself. I didn=99t use any manual for dismantling or reassembly. As a new engine all components were =99sweet=99 to pull apart, being an ex-mechanic helped. Thinking about it now reminds me the buggers didn=99t fit the top cooling shroud either so I had to take at least one of the manifolds off as well. Shame they lost the Uk distribution.

    Hi William, Sorry, I had forgotten the issue of changing the outlet if you have an 80 degree one. As you will see in the attachments, I already had 45 degree nozzles and so just needed to rotate the one in question. I=99m not sure whether they changed the nozzle angles on all engines after a certain date, but as you can see on the photos mine were all around 40-45 deg as supplied with the engine. I will attach a further reply from Bud to this issue confirming that I just needed to rotate the existing outlet nozzle. Regards, Keith.
