From: "Don Emch" Yep, Shad, that was all me and my torch... Ha! No way! I had a buddy weld it with his tig welder. Someday I'd like to get one but until then I'm stuck with my torch. I have seen torch welds in aluminum that look almost as nice. Kent White... https://www.tinmantech.com/index.php ...is the master of oxygas welding. One of these days I want to get some of his materials and get practicing.

I'm glad you were able to get out. It sure does break up the winter blahs when you can get out and fly! I just bought an old set of wood Jacobsen skis that still have Chief rigging on them. I have them all apart and am refinishing them right now. I hope to have them on our Chief in the next week or so. I'm anxious to try them! Gonna be tough to beat the Piet in the fun department though!

This list has been a continuing source of information and inspiration. Folks like Bill Church, Mike Cuy and Tom Bernie have been especially helpful to this first time builder. I wish for you all good progress and safe flying in the new year.

Do I need drilled an3's to secure the filter with safety wire or will the plate nuts suffice like lock nuts? Also, I assume I need a gasket between the airbox and carb. Is there a gasket between the filter and airbox? Thanks and Happy New Year!

Would bolts and plate nuts work also?

It would really be a cold day here to be able to have skis; hope that doesn't happen. I used to pick up my wife at her house on Lake Pelican, than fly to Watertown airport and drive to town. Have a great new years. Cheers, Jim B. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 02:17:34 PM PST US From: "Jack Phillips" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Airbox Question Jack for something like that, just ask yourself what would happen if the bolts came loose. Is it a catastrophic failure? For something like an air filter, if it parted company with the airplane the only thing that might happen is that your engine would breathe better. Besides, on my Continental installations, the air filter will be readily obvious on preflight inspection. I would use whatever you're comfortable with. One of the advantages of experimental aircraft is you are not bound by regulations. Of course, that is a two-edged sword, so you've got to think about the consequences. Having said that, I just walked over and loked at my Pietenpol. I secured my Brackett Air Filter with AN3 bolts and locknuts.
