Hey Chris,
What you're seeing is a faired housing for a "DG type" compass.
I actually have two similar "sumps" (you can just see the rear one) on the
bottom of my tank that are pretty big too because I'm freaky about fuel
starvation and wanted sumps large enough to really hold some fuel at any
attitude.
They and the compass housing are each made from half an old Soviet aluminum
canteen, cheap and nicely shaped for the purpose.

When my parents lived across the street from us I used to go help him in the yard
on Saturdays. His neighbor always seemed to come over and wanted to talk, every
job took twice as long. One day we put him on the other end of a crosscut
saw cutting a 3 foot diameter oak tree up and we turned around and he was gone!
Moral of the story, give them a dirty job and they will not stay too long.
If they keep working offer to buy lunch, you have some good help.

Gary,
I flew by your hangar, at least I think it was your (2 or 3 in from the end on
the very southwest row of hangars?), and no one was there. I did not make it
there till shortly after noon, I spent too much time in Oroville. You must have
left for lunch. Guess I will have to catch up with you later...we keep trying!

| Subject: | Re: Question about Continetal Engine Mount |
Chris; I was just out to the hangar and I confirmed that my engine mount bolts
are AN6 (3/8")... A65/75 Continental. Now I don't know how snugly AN6 bolts fit
in a 3/8" drilled hole, so you may need to do a little research on that. There
are rubber donuts on the engine mounts that the bolts pass through and those
are not a problem, but I don't know how tight a fit an AN6 bolt is in a 3/8"
hole, thus (possibly) the reason for reaming the holes to 7/16". That just
seems too sloppy a fit though.

| Subject: | Re: Question about Continetal Engine Mount |
Thanks Oscar.
Every where I look calls for an AN6 bolt (3/8"). I even checked the GN-1
plans and they have a 3/8th inch bolt. Digging through my scrap pile I
found I have some thick wall tubing that will let me weld the engine mount
and ream or bush it to the AN6 or AN7 size. I am leaning to the AN6 bolt.
Thanks again for being the only one to answer a building question.

Gary; admiring your engine work and noticed your exhaust manifolds. Pretty sure
I understand how you fabricated them, but was hoping you could describe the setup
and maybe some pics too. Woild love to go without the logs. Thanks: Paul
