Carson,
Those instruments and mag switch are the result of searching on ebay for
years. You have to be diligent, be willing to dedicate the money, and also it
really pays to have one of those _www.Powersnipe.com_
(http://www.Powersnipe.com) accounts so you can out bid your opponents at the last second
automatically. I have 3 compasses in a box that I wasted money on and decided
were not
good enough. I wanted to have one of those Elgin clocks in my panel, and bought
a non-working one thinking that I could have it fixed. NOT!. I took it to 3
old-timer clock repair guys and they said forget it. I paid for that mistake.
Anyway I used to live in Elgin Illinois for 17 years where they used to have
the old factory, so that part of it is personal nostalgia for me. The
non-sensitive 4" altimeter is really neat, looks great and works good, but is
kind
of impractical because I will be flying at 500 ft. AGL and the needle will
hardly move. That's OK because when you are at 500 ft you don't need to look at
an altimeter anyway. The old 4" tach works but I am having to have a special
cable made for it. We shall see how that works. I got a matching set of
"book-end" veneer pieces from Bob Morgan's _www.morganwood.com_
(http://www.morganwood.com) . to make the face of the panels. Looks cool with no weight
penalty, and its away to customize. Good luck with yours.

Bob,
I got mine built-up by Antique Engine Rebuilder's in Skokie Illinois. The
prop's name is Rich Faluca. This guy is very well known among the Model A
auto restorers. He was very cooperative and knowledgeable on the Pietenpols,
and even pulled out his set of Piet plans when I was there. That is all he
does is rebuild antique auto engines. He will willingly answer all your
questions. He was able to supply an aluminum cam gear, chevy pistons,
rebuilt cam shaft, and counter-weighted crankshaft. He drilled and tapped
the hole that goes down and out of the valve chamber. He also can include
modern insert bearings all around. Also modern piston rods. He also supplied
a rebuilt oil pump. I have not run my engine yet but it feels good so far.
He has a websight. http://www.antiqueenginerebuilding.com/

MessageAt least in the Piet, unlike a motorcycle, you won't get hit by
stones off a gravel truck. That hurts.

Hello Mark. If your interested in a Piet here is a project for sale

When I needed machine work on my Corvair engine, I told them it was for a "high
performance off-road application".
Still, when I got the paperwork back it said, "Not for aviation usage".
But if I'd have uttered the word "airplane" I bet they wouldn't have done the work.

Thanks, Doug

I watched a motocross racer start taking his helmet off in halfway down the straightaway
at full throttle. A bee hit him in the chest and went inside his full
face helmet right in front of his nose. He let go and started strapping his
chin strap. Even after he fell off he kept taking his helmet off until he stopped
rolling. It was about the funniest thing I ever saw, even better he was not
hurt.
Do not archive
Unrelated, I flew my 1948 Bonanza from Lubbock to San Antonio this last Saturday.
It has sat for about 6 months while I had a house fire, moved to San Antonio
and found it a home. It sure was great to get up again. Not a Piet but still
great fun.
