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.

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. -------- Building steel fuselage aircamper.

________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 06:45:37 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Question about Continetal Engine Mount From: "taildrags" 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. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=397375#397375 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 09:05:09 PM PST US From: "Chris" Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: 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.
