> I think this is because the exhaust joint faces that direction and any
exhaust leaking around it would hit those and accelerate the corrosion
process.
Almost any chemical reaction will go faster when hotter, particularly
oxidation. It can happen completely without exhaust gas on it.

Spring hooks? Broken springs? Damaged props? $15 and an afternoon of work and that
problem goes away. Some 5/16" bolts, flat washers, cotter pins, some small
compression springs, some large diameter muffler clamps from which you cut off
the curvy little ends where the bolts go through and weld those pieces onto
your exhaust. During your annual inspection check the bolts, they will probably
have wear grooves in them about a 1/16" deep. That's why you start with 5/16".
The pictures explain it all - sometimes overkill in this area is a good thing.
Also, notice the size of these 2 pictures: less than 50 kb each. The last several
posts on the list of busted props, & trailers for sale have been pictures of
2 megabytes or more, and no "Do not archive" tags. So much for keeping the
list archives at a manageable size... [Shocked] Not to mention how long large
picture files take to download: my computer happily plays graphics intensive
online games at nearly 100fps, but it still took a while to get those 2 meg files
downloaded. In Windows 7 & 8, all you need to do is right click a .jpg picture
file and tell it "resize;" problem solved. [Wink]

These hooks were stainless and the ones I replaced them with are also stainless.
Got them from Titan. I guess that's why they call it stain 'less' and not
stain 'proof'.

When I had my FS II with 503, I got tired of all the ugly springs and
safety wire and silicone and hooks. Aircraft Spruce and others had advertised
stainless steel muffler joint clamps that worked very well. Cut off the
spring hooks and no problems for the next 6 years.

Thanks for the info. I do wish these pictures were a little bigger however. My
eyes aren't what they used to be.

Subject: | Facet fuel pumps.. |
Hello Kolb builder,
I soon will need to buy a facet fuel pump for my Kolbra. I am wondering what
make/style is favorite in the Kolb world?
Thanks as always for your input!
