I have emailed John Archer (who manufactures the aluminium tube) t o enquire about purchasing one. John has said that he cannot supply the tube s on a one-off basis as the company has a set-up charge, so will require a b atch to be made. The last batch made was for 12 people and cost =C2=A3250 pe r tube. Does anyone else require this Mod, and be willing to =98join forces =99? Please let me know as soon as you can. If not, it=99ll be the E uropa Mod79 rubber hose for me. Thanks in advance, happy flying.

Nice write-up and good points regarding finishing. Regarding paint your point is correct. With the Kolb I did what you suggest. I did all the prepping up to primer at home (gave me all the time in the world to correct problems, fine sand everything, etc) and then I took it to a friends shop with a spray booth and applied the final coat (single stage PPG Durathane). Ended up with a show finish and it still looks like new today after 20 years. Good points on LSA. Right now no medical issues and since I was flying for an airline until not too long ago I had a first class. In my last medical renewal I opted to go down to third to keep it simple since I don't fly commercial anymore (was starving and had to go back to Engineering :) ) It's good to know what options are available as you get older. Anyway, thanks. at my end I started to play with the engine install so pretty exciting stuff (and a bit more fun that just fiberglass work). Reading your write-ups regarding water pump modification, ring mount install, etc).

I purchased some Stainless 304 from McMaster Carr for the insert. First off the ID was too small for a AN5-21 so I reamed it to 5/16" to .3125". Not a good fit, the AN5-21 8is undersized so crappy fit. I ordered from Aircraft Spruce close tolerance bolts AN175-21 and low and behold a real nice fit. In other words a "much more better fit"! I had W21 plates that had bushings installed. I drilled them out. 2 of them grab and latched onto the drill and spun out, probably making the hole a little bit larger. Then when I went to install the Mcmaster 304 tube, it was a little too small of an OD. Perhaps Loctite 638 would have done the trick of holding them in place, but I threw them on the lathe and knurled them. It increased the OD where it was a nice tight fit, so vise and 638 forced in place made a real nice job of it. After I pushed the W21 bushings in place I needed to ream again because the force fit reduced the ID just a tad bit. After reaming AN175-21 bolts fit great! Anyway anyone who is looking to get a good fit on anything on their aeroplanes, a good alternative to NAS hardware that has limited sizes is AN175 close tolerance bolts. Not cheap though. Sincerely Ron P. All is well!
