| Subject: | Re: Exhaust springs |
Along with my new Nev Eyre cowls, I was obliged to buy a new CKT silencer. It seems
like a first class piece of engineering and a friend who has one never had
any trouble with his. But after less than 10 hours since installation mine broke
a spring. This is not uncommon for various designs of silencer and Chris
Piper of CKT does his best to obviate this problem, by sourcing springs from different
suppliers and being insistent that no metal tools should ever be employed
for installation or removal of springs.
Heide of CKT sent me a replacement and spare under warranty, which arrived the
next day. Since then I've frequently been using a telescopic mirror to monitor
the springs after each flight. My intention for next time that I remove the cowls
is to apply a thick bead of silicone along the length of each spring, as
an attempt to damp vibrations. Any suggestions as to which kind of silicone I
should obtain in the UK?

Another thing to be aware of with Trig, is that the Sub D connectors supplied have
crimp terminals. This makes wiring between the control unit and radio very
clean and easy relative to (my) soldering. But the cost of the Mil Spec crimping
tool is eye watering! (yes I have a little used one for sale now!). I do think
the Trig installation manuals are very comprehensive.
I made up a tray which copied the physical dimensions of my old avionics sub-panel
(Trig radio and transponder). In photo, head units are at the bottom (can't
see them very well), followed by a row of circuit breakers and the scrappy bit
on top is the power supply for the GPS (must put it in it's own little box).
PL1 is the same interface to my intercom as existed in the old avionics sub
panel.

Dave - mine is more than close - placing the C04 pipe so it will connect to the
header and the radiator results in it touching BOTH the side of the footwell
(only just forward of the rudder return spring retaining bolt) and a cluster of
the engine mount tubing. I guess it could be tied to the engine mount to avoid
chafing against it with engine vibration, and maybe the footwell surface is
smooth enough not to cause wear on the pipe even if it is rubbing against it.
Anyone else have any comments?

| Subject: | Spare Choke cable anyone? |
A prospective new EC member is looking for a spare choke cable assy for his 914
powered Europa at Goodwood - does anyone have one at home they could sell or
give to him? Chris is having major problems starting his a/c and the choke cable
seems to be the culprit [Nev, Pete J and Kevin Dilks aware]
If so, please contact Chris Spirit directly on 07968 041203

| Subject: | oil sump banjo orientation |
On my Rotax 912S the outlet of the banjo fitting on the oil sump points forward.
The pipe connected to it goes aft to starboard. The manual (Fig 7, page 5-5,
912S Installation) shows it pointing about 45 degrees forward and starboard.
It looks as though it would be sensible to re-orient the banjo to point about
45 degrees aft and starboard. Is this a good or bad idea?

| Subject: | Re: Exhaust springs |
When I ordered new springs a while back they sent me the wrong size by mistake;
too short if I recall.
Some wise person told me to put locking wire through them and a bead of ordinary
silicone - they seem to have been stable for a while now.

Coincidence- I was doing just that installation yesterday evening! That it has
interference doesn't bother me to much, what on the Europa doesn't? ;-)
My problem is that the tight fit means I can't put enough force on the tube to
get it to fully slide over the fitting of the water radiator. Do you have that
too?

Rowland,
FWIW, on my 914, I left the banjo fitting as it was and ran the return line forward,
up the port front and across the top of the engine back to the oil reservoir
inlet. The hose is covered with heat shield near exhaust pipes.
Perhaps if I did it again, Id obtain the necessary crush washers and reorient the
banjo to point aft toward the reservoir for a shorter run.
In any case, make sure you apply heat shield when close to hot stuff.

Rowland. When I installed my engine recently I also needed to re-orientate the
banjo. What I found was that it's really awkward under the crankcase because of
its shape and the potential for the hose clip to get in the way and the difficulty
of manipulating a screwdriver, all affected by the angle of the banjo in
relation to projecting parts of the casing.
So I loosened the banjo quite a lot and first fitted the hose clip in such a way
that the screwdriver would have good access, tightened the clip and then positioned
the banjo in a position as near as practicable to the way it needed to
point.
After the final tighten and wire-locking of the banjo, I could then focus on routing
the oil hose as required.
