Subject: | Outrigger Pivot Bearing Mod (10661 v2) (UK) |
Hi,
I'm looking to modify the outrigger pivot bearings on my Mono Europa.
The only practicable UK source of the required (0.375" OD x 0.3125" ID)
stainless steel tube sells it in 6 foot (1.8m) lengths, for about GBP 80.
Does anyone know of a UK supplier of shorter lengths of SS tube, or have a
few inches of said tubing that I could buy.?
With thanks & regards,
Dave M.

Hi Kingsley,
I am not an instrumentation expert, but my conclusion is that the switch
on my panel is a "DPDT ON/OFF/ON (MOMENTARY) 6 PIN TOGGLE SWITCH". If
you poke around on the web, I think you can find one. An example is at
https://www.amazon.com/Etopars-Momentary-Miniature-Toggle-Dashboard/dp/B077P3868T/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=on+off+on+momentary+dpdt+toggle+switch&qid=1555082392&s=automotive&sr=1-20
Cheers, John

Thank you for sharing this one John, an excellent solution IMHO.
Please don't go to any trouble but if you happen to know the Part No of
the switch I would be interested to know thanks.

Hi Peter.
I recall reading about a "ditching" of a trigear Europa some years ago off South
America I saw the photo of the plane being brought ashore after ditching. The
story as I recall it was that the plane floated and was towed to the shore;
See the photo of it floating quite buoyantly in an article in the Europa club websitehttp://www.theeuropaclub.org .
