From: Alfred Rosa Got the SS online from a manufacturer of sheet steel. It was a 50' roll of 8"cut off. A bitch to bend lengthwise even though it's thin stuff. Had to use two angle irons - one on each side - and squeeze together with pipe clamps. I laid a pipe on the SS to help control the shape of the bend. Bob, I saw pics of a Lycoming hanging off the nose of your plane on your web site. I could have sworn you had gotten a Continental.

Another option to get a similar look is stainless steel foil tape: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15D571-Foil-Tape-3-In-x-3-Yd-Stainless-Steel-/221574057967 I am sure it is not as much protection but it is lighter and more simple to do. Now put this under it for deicing... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flex-Watt-Heat-Tape-Reptile-Pet-Terrarium-Cage-Egg-Incubator-Heater-Warmer-/230921106672 Mark K. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 4/24/16, Robert Reed wrote: Subject: Re: KIS-List: Another Cruiser first.
