Jonathanthe rubber mounts on the Classic were not "Lord", unless supplied b

came from a different supplier.

Hi Martin, I remember having the exact problem you describe when I built mi
ne - the uncompressed assembly being longer then the bl@@dy bolts!
I seem to remember assembling and compressing the mounts in a vice off the
aircraft with the nuts and bolts, binding them tightly with locking wire, r
emoving the bolts, assembling onto the aircraft, snipping the locking wire
off then finally tightening them permanently.=C2- (Then finding the whole
things got to come off again for something else....!).=C2- Took a while
to perfect the technique and doubtless most other people have got a far mor
e elegant method.....!

I remember what I did now, (from 20 years ago!) I used longer bolts and ext
ra washers.

Hi Martin,
It is a long time ago, but I think that I bought some 1/4" hardware
threaded rod and (i) cut it into 4 judicious lengths.
(ii) I then bolted the whole assembly up tight at each mount.
(iii) I then removed one threaded rod at a time and inserted the correct
bolt.
I think that works.
Cheers, John

| Subject: | Re: Compressing Rubber Mounts |
Thanks all for suggestions.
I managed to get them all done tonight using a combination of tie wraps
and a small clamp along with longer bolts to compress the rubbers first.
Then replaced each one with the aircraft grade AN5 bolt.
Took about an hour and it wasn't easy as the tie wraps kept slipping off
the curved cap washers at first.
The bottom ones were easier as the weight of the engine compressed one
side of the rubber mount enough that I could get the washers and nut on.
All the best,
Martin

Hello everyone,
EuropaOwners.org is NOT closing. The developers of Gallery the software that the
site is based on is no longer going to provide updates.
As an example, the Matronics site runs on phpbb2 and that has not been supported
for years, and the site continues to run smoothly.
I see no reason that EuropaOwners should not be able to do the same.
I'ts disappointing and worrisome that they are going to shut the site down completely
at some point but don't give any indication when.
No need to be troubled or disappointed - the site should continue to run just fine.
Does anyone know if your albums/pictures can be downloaded other than individually?
Yes. Next to the album is a pull down menu. Select Add to cart. The software will
let you add all the photos in that album to your cart. You can then download
the photos as a ZIP file. The software will not download all the sub-albums,
you have to click on them individually and add to cart.
I've registered on the site but I can't find a link to create a new build.
Many thanks
Alan
Oops sorry Alan, I turned off letting users build albums on the main menu after
we had some inappropriate postings. Ive set up an album for you on page 4. User
name AlanHunter You should be able to Upload and make sub-albums there.
Hope that clears things up,
SteveD
