Or packing the new slimmer tube with a bit of split hose under the old clip, to
bring it back to the outer diameter that the clip will work with. You could argue
that this reduces the clamping pressure, but may also improve the surviability
of the silicone hose by preventing the clip from eating into it.

I have all the old pipes off (would have been easier with the cable based tool
that arrived this afternoon ! In the end I removed the carbs, inlet manifolds,
oil tank and exhaust to gain good access.
I want to retain the rotax constant compression spring clips but I still have the
issue that they don't expand enough to go over the silicon on the knuckle.
The ASH silicon pipe (3 ply) is 4.5 thick and the knuckle 19 so they need to open
at least 28mm. The clips are marked TS and 25 and open 25 mm max dia.
If people have them 'slipping on' then either they are using thinner walled pipe
(say 1 ply), different clips (say CBT-25.2 -W1 from HCL or using worm type clips.

The new tube is fatter, not thinner. It looks like I can grind off the tabs that
limit the opening (these don't seem to be there on some engines) this should
allow another 1.5 mm diameter which looks enough.

Might I suggest that you put the clip on the metal pipe first and then push the
hose into it. That way you dont have to try and get the clip over the knuckle.

Hi Graham,
The trick is to hold the clamps open with Mole grips (over centre and locked) then
you can easily manipulate the clamps into place on the alloy pipe stubs BEFORE
you slide the pipes on. With a bit of dexterity, you can slide the pipe on
fully while sliding the clamp back over it. Then release the Mole grips.
Always make sure you leave the "tangs" in such a position that you can get the
Mole grips on again, should you ever need to move them.
Works a treat for me!
Nigel

I found that If I slipped the hose clamp onto the nipple first (of the component
you are attaching the hose to), I could then expand the hose clamp and slide
the new silicone tubing onto the nipple and under the hose clamp. Then just
release the clamp. No need to slide the clamp over the knuckle. Also, if I recall
correctly, I applied a film of coolant (Evans in my case) to the inside
of the hose to aid in sliding it over the nipple.
Good luck.

Sorted now. I managed to grind off some of the tab that limits rotax clip opening
and they can now be put on from the tube end. A little washing up liquid and
some pliers with a slot ground in each jaw about 3mm up helped.

My dynon which has behaved itself impeccably up to now suddenly rebooted
twice in flight and then behaved itself again.
Anyone had a similar experience?
It brought home to me the need for a back up attitude indicator.

<<It brought home to me the need for a back up attitude indicator.>>
Are you allowed to fly IMC? If not I thought the horizon would be
sufficient - unless you can fly at night I guess. If you are I didn't
think the Dynon systems were only certified for VMC.
I think I would want a back up airspeed indicator and possibly an altimeter.

| Subject: | Air inlets manifold o rings |
Thanks for all the help on water pipe clips. In the process of removing the pipes
I removed the air inlet manifolds. The o rings looked pretty flattened and
I am wondering whether I should replace them or use some small amount of liquid
gasket from a tube? I am aware you don't want a leak here and sucking in air.
