Great to see a young man interested in using his hands. I wish more young people
would do so. Then I could be sure that someone would become a Machinist and
help keep my old Bonanza in the air.

If you raise the deck and cowlings you will want to consider extending the
center section struts. Otherwise she will be plenty hard to get in the
front pit;

Made my rear turtle deck 3" higher and both instrument boards 2" higher. As
shown in the Bingelis books you don't want your shoulder harness attach
point too low.

Ok folks I have been looking around the archives and have not found the

seem to find what dimensions of the wood is height and width.
Secondly I want to put a head rest or even maybe go a little higher in the
back, I watched a friend today taxi out in his GN-1 and it looked a little
low.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

If the metal piece was not sealed I sprayed (or sloshed, if spraying wasn't practical)
primer on the inside. For sealed pieces I used the linseed oil.
Be careful: if you put linseed oil in a "sealed" part the linseed will find its
way out through any tiny holes over the course of weeks or months and will cause
complications during painting. I had that happen on one or two pieces, however,
I cleaned the parts really well prior to spraying and didn't have too much
trouble.
If you can paint the outside of the part prior to adding the oil you'd avoid the
problem. Given the sequence of fabrication, though, that's usually not practical.

I have been using just such a gauge now for 5 years and I find it to be qui
te satisfactory. I would however suggest using a small tube in the gas cap
to keep the rod from leaning over as mine does all the time.
Someday I'm going to change that and fix it. I did measure and paint the en
d of the rod white to indicate when I am running low on fuel. I gave myself
a few extra gallons before total empty. just to be on the safe side.You ma
y want more.Just paint lower for more fuel at the end.

Jack,
I think Jack T meant a Cub-type gauge with the wire sticking out of the fue
l
cap, on the top of the wing tank.
I think Bill Rewey may have done that with his, and I think Kevin has that
setup on his Piet. Isn't that what the Hello Kitty mirror is for, Kevin? :
