Lowel,
I interact with the Mat-list forum style (not email), all these posts are on a
server somewhere and I assume none of it is private.

Jack ,
You are probably reading liters instead of gals. I think setting number 2
is gals. Check your operators manual. I have had the unit swap the settings
by itself.

Lynn, Agreed. That's why I said the ski mount would need to be built heavy.
We are on the same page. Thanks for the picture.

Lynn, Thanks again. We are on the same page, but after looking at your photo
I realize I will have to plate my tubes to reinforce them to distribute the
tortional forces along the 2" long ski axle so as to not apply all that
force only where the tubes join the axle. The ski axle in your photo has
another one on the other side. Mine will not. Damn, I guess what I
really need to do is find out if I can buy 3 1/2" longer axles from Tracy
O'Brien. And, make my ski axle 4" long.
KF's NOTE I PREVIOUSLY STATED YOU COULD BUY 3/4" x 10" LONG HOLLOW CROMEMOLY
AXLES FROM BRIAN TRACY. I SHOULD HAVE SAID TRACY O'BRIEN. TRACY HAS A
WEBSITE with the axles, brakes, etc.. BRIAN TRACY has a website also. BUT,
HE IS A SALES TRAINER. Sorry about my dislexia. As a young girl cashier once
told me, "It's not dislexic being easy you know".

CPS sent me 5/16 bungee cord instead of 3/8, and they are replacing it.-
But just out of curiosity, would there be a problem if I made up LG bungees
of 5/16, using 8 or 9 loops instead of the 6 loops for 3/8.- Seems like
it might be easier to install.
Second question, is there any difference between the bungee cord I get from
CPS or ACS and what I might buy from Ace hardware?

Jim,
At one time, the earl Kitfox factory had difficulty getting the 3/8" bungee
cord and did supply the 5/16". I don't recall how many loops in the
thinner setup. Regarding ACE hardware. I am almost certain that the
bungees you will get from any of the aircraft suppliers will be a mil spec
version. This typically has two layers of cotton woven to provide the outer
shieths. I guess you could try it.
