Guy,
I thought an update on the engine mount. It is installed and bolts
tightened. I was surprised that while fitting the cowl, the oil tank needed
a bit of surgery. I was thinking of cutting a corner off the bottom and
having a welder weld it up again. I noticed a small dent on the bottom
corner and it gave me the idea that I might be able to do a little body and
fender work on it to get it to fit. I did exactly that and used some micro
and epoxy to smooth it out and then painted the bottom bowl my finish color
to hide the fix.
I am making the donuts, but I had two miscasts so only have four to date. I
think I still have enough of the rubber for the remaining four. I used the
light weight engine stand from Harbor Freight. I made a jig that mated to
it and if you would like it, I can send it down. It allows for two axis
alignment - pitch and bank. I did weld the rotating tube in the stand for
stability. I also found some cone shaped things that I used to locate the
donut rings while welding. You can have those as well. They won't burn up
with the welding.
Photos attached.
Lowell

Thanks, this is great, was just about to start typing one up. Would you mind if
I generalized this (removing any specific reference to you or your plane) and
put it in the "other sites" reference section?

hi all,
4 yrs ago i bought my grove gear and matcowheels and brakes. in the past
week all have been reinstalleed for the last time ad all went well
except.............what the heck is everyone using to make the valve stem
accessable without removing the wheel and disassembling it? i never really
noticed how tight it was when i got it put together 4 yrs. ago.
and fwiw the plastic vent cap on top of the matco cylinder is a #8
thread. it can be replaced with anything #8 with a hole thru it and a hose
attached. the hose drains into a can and you can pump a lot of extra fluid
thru the brake system if necessary to get rid of air and catch it in the
can.

Today I got a call from AOPA that my insurance rate will increase $300.
when I renew. He said that all tail wheel aircraft insurance is going
up. Even with all my ratings and clean record, 500 plus tail wheel time
makes no difference. Has anyone else had this call? Tex

AOPA is tooooo expensive. Call AUA Insurance at 336-668-3410 (Greensboro,
NC). I've had them for nine years and their rates are very reasonable, ab
out $800 under AOPA and EAA when I last checked.
