| Subject: | Re: Nev's Engine Mount |
Just an observation but Nev's mount still has the isolation rubbers between the
undercarriage frame and the extension to the ring mount as I see it. On an XS
more so than a classic as I have experienced it is putting more strain on those
isolation rubbers and they sag in time and use.
Would it not be better to get those isolation rubbers between the extension and
the ring mount (less arm to carry load).
Probably hard for you guys in the LAA but that's how I will be endeavouring to
do it on the next one.
Cheers Peter

| Subject: | replacing acrylic window |
Gents,
Among the tasks I face ahead is to replace my shattered starboard door/window.
Using a heat gun, I have successfully removed the shards with heat sufficient to
soften the acrylic and break its bond with the Redux but without making the
slightest impression in the Redux itselfit remains as a smooth film which is bonded
to the recess in the door/window frame.
I would like to remove the existing Redux in order to have the full depth of the
frame recess available for a fresh bed of Redux when I install the new window.
Would anyone have a recommendation on the best way to remove the existing Redux?
thanks,
Fred

Careful use of a Dremel sanding drum?
Good luck!

Peteis this an idea?or a recommenation based on experience?
Id be concerned about evennessIf grinding it away is the answer, I would think
sandpaper would offer a more even result
Im hoping theres another type of procedureI always thought Redux softened with
heat, but I dont want to distort the window frame

Fred,
I would suggest a flap disc on an angle grinder. The coarseness of the flap disc
subject to test but Id try medium to start.
Before I fitted my windows, I used this method to remove existing gelcoat in order
to get maximum depth rebate for the window. I approached the job thinking
it would take several hours but much to my surprise it was done in no time.
I found the flap disc easy to control.
Good luck mate
