    Subject: .090 4130 question
    Does anyone know about what size .090 (13 gauge) 4130 sheet I would need for my entire Piet project?. Was going to order some .090 sheared to 5/8" for use on the tail feather fittings but neither Wicks or AS shrears it that small so I figured I may as well order enough for the whole airplane. Also, the tail center brace fittings on the plans are labeled 12 gauge rather than 13 gauge like most of the rest, does everyone just use 13 gauge for that? Thank You Rick Holland

    Chris, Sure, no problem. As long as nothing changes with the status of the airport, I figure they will be there for a long time. I think mine were the rear (smaller) off a Cub. Sinse the Piets are shorter, cut a good piece off each end. They still had residue of the oil in them. There was slight surface pitting though. My Mentor gave them his blessing. I THINK I paid $20.00 each, (may have been $10.00) Might be easier giving you the infro. on the airport, this way it won't confuse the issue with me being the middle man. The owner/manager is in his 80's, and even though a nice man, you may not want or expect him to go rooting through the hanger cielings. So when the time comes I'll be glad to meet you up there and show you where they all are. The owner/mgr is Paul Styger ( He's usually there most every day) Airport number is: Sussex Airport 973-875-7337 or 973-875-0783 53 county highway 639 sussex, nj 07461 If you or anyone on the list is interested,,,,,,,let me know if I can help/let me know and I'll meet you there. walt evans NX140DL do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: Christian Bobka To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 9:45 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cub lift struts on ebay Walt, I need to drive my honda from CT to MN in the fall. Do you think you can set me up with a set of struts when I come through?

Was put up to it by another homebuilder. There were hundreds of them. Didn't want to just take them, so went to the Mgr and made a deal. After cutting off the top and bottom, the visual inspection showed they were clean. sure beat $15.00 per foot for new. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: DJ Vegh To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 7:52 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: cub lift struts on ebay found this today.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category26439&item2467575734 I think he's asking a bit too much but maybe if someone was interested they could email him directly as strike a deal.

    Wicks has sheared 4130 for me down to 1/2" wide. They ask which way to orient the grain and then they cut it. Even on saturday mornings they have.

    Subject: Pulling a corvair engine
    Piet Corvair people - I found a 65 Covair at the junkyard for a hundred bucks, only catch is I have to pull it out of the car. I have pulled bug engines before and have all the tools to do that. Question is do I need any special tools to pull this engine? Also, does anyone know if you can read the engine block number while still in the car? I have WW's manual. RickH

The Engines drop out the bottom---Jack the rear of the car and place on jackstands, undo all the bell housing to transaxle bolts you can get to, disconnect the starter, with the engine on an engine jack remove the rear motor mount, lower the engine about 6 inches and you can get to the top bell housing and starter bolts. Well a little more than this but you can get the gist of it. Yes the block #'s are located just forward of the oil filter/fuel pump casting.

I have emailed Matt Dralle and inquired but got nothing back from him. I do have an idea as to why.. I will try the fix with this post. If someone gets their Piet list mail in digest form and is able to read THIS message please email me off list. I'd like to see if this works. djv@imagedv.com PS.. funny comment about Aircraft Spruce! I've calmed down over that and have ordered from them since, BUT only basic parts like AN bolts, turnbuckles, etc. NEVER will I order special order stuff from them again... especially cables that if they fail will be fatal!
