Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: Andimaxd@aol.com To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 11:01 AM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wing tank side reading gauage Pieters: I have been visiting with Rochester Gauges here in Dallas about turning the cylinder inside their spiral action fuel gauge upside down so it will register fuel quantity correctly in a center section wing tank application. This is a precision magnetic gauge with a float traveling on a spiral rod to record fuel level on hermetically sealed side-reading dial marked E,1/4,1/2,3/4,F. All aluminum construction. Housing has 1-1/2" NPT male threads for connection to threaded bushing (they sell aluminum bushings and flanges for this gauge as well). Length "L" 6", Float Travel 4-1/4". In the 1999 AS&S catalogue they sold a top mounted one for $39.00. They manufacture them here in Dallas. If I can talk them into making one that will mount on the bottom of a tank, instead of only from the top, how many of you would be interested in purchasing one. They have a $125.00 minimum order for PO's. I have a tax I.D. # and could purchase them direct, if enough of you are interested. They are supposed to call me back and let me know if they can or will make this gauge as per my request. I thought it might have a greater influence on them if they could sell more than one. We have not got a price yet, or if they will do it, but, I don't expect it would be a lot higher than the 1999 AS&S price on the similarly built top mount fuel gauge. If any of you are interested let me know back ASAP. Bargaining power will be much better with numbers, I'm sure. Thanks, Max Arlington, TX. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:25:21 PM PST US From: "Catdesign" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Bandsaw Hi all, I have an older style (more like old) 80" Sears bandsaw. Has anyone been able to figure out how to slow down this perticular band saw so it can cut metal? I have been trying to figure out how to add a "jack shaft" and a pully to gear it down but I can't figure out how to do it with the way the motor is mounted under the table. So, if anyone else has this saw I'd apreciate suggestions. Thanks Chris T.
