They offer a powered tooth counting sensor but it won't work with the WW starter wheel I have and the tooth counter that works with the Stuart Warner tach is not powered (only 2 lead) and will not work with the EMS. So unless someone at Corvair College 13 has some good ideas I will probably just go with the proven Stewart Warner solution.

However=2C instead of rubber plugs=2C consider using some of those snap-in hole covers that are used for knockouts in electrical boxes or the ones use d to cap unused punchings in stainless steel sinks. In your plumbing section at the hardware store. You could reach inside your baffle and pop out the cap=2C then inse rt your spark plug socket and off you go. Just a thought.

I was looking through the online McMaster Carr catalog for a rubber bushing kind of things without a hole in the middle and struck out but I did notice just the kind of thing you mentioned, round metal caps of different sizes with springy legs like you put in an empty sink hole. They even come chrome plated. Now that may look cool up against my flat black eyebrows.

I bought my crankshaft from William. This was just after he started recommending nitriding them and he already had my core so he took care of all that. I don't know if he still offers that option or not and I cannot remember exactly what I paid for the whole set up. Randy Bush **************New year...new news.

I'm thinking this won't actually turn out to be an ultralight? Just spotted this on eBay, item # 120359458778 Tim in Bovey ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 05:17:37 PM PST US From: "Ryan Mueller" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet Ultralight? Well, it may have started life as an ultralight.... http://www.ragwing.net/fleet/RW01Ultra-Piet.html It is based on an "Ultralight replica of the Pietenpol Air Camper". It's a one-seater, so you would think it would technically be an ultralight replica of a Sky Scout, but I digress. The site of the original designer says that it can use a 1/2 VW. The ebay listing for this particular project based on that design states that it has been scaled up 10%. In addition (and I'm no expert on VW's) it appears to have a full VW engine. I would imagine those two factors would make it a little more difficult to complete the project and have it come in at or below 254 lbs, if you were to attempt to register it as an ultralight.
