I remembered seeing it and liking it but have the same reservations as John about more secure mounting. Also curving the outlet pipes down by the boom tube might reduce sound in the cabin. Also I didn't see where he had mounted the oil cooler. -------- "But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools.

I am thinking about hanging mine also, and would like to know what materials to use to adhered the hanger to the Lexan. Question two is.I need to rivet the horizontal stabilizer fittings to the Boom tube and stabilizer, but not sure what length of 3/16 rivet I should use, or were to get them?

I would use hardware store aluminum rivets to hang the compass. That is what I use to fasten the Lexan to doors. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Nick Cassara Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 2:17 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Two Questions V. card compass and rivets Hello Kolbers, I have two questions.

When I did the fittings on the MkIIIX "Plane from Hell" I had to make custom rivets and special nose for my riveter. EAA published my builder's tip about making the rivets. If you need it, I can send you the nose. Rick PS I've never been able to find a lower price on pop rivets than McMaster Carr. And they're actual, honest to God, Pop Rivets, not some cheesy Hecho en Chine kind.
