| Subject: | Exhaust System tension springs |
Hello,
I am building a Rans S7 and now installing the 912ULS engine.
My question regards the springs that hold the various exhaust system
parts
together that came with the Rans kit; they are bronze color and are 2
7/16=94
long and very stout. It took myself and another grown man to pull the
springs open enough to capture the welded loops on the pipe.
With the used 912ULS I purchased came a silver spring 2 =BC=94 long that
has
much less tension when pulled open; I can connect exhaust parts by
myself.
So my specific question is what are these two springs? I would like to
order
more of the silver version (I only have eight and need four more) but
don=92t
know what to specify or where to get them.
Thanks,
Bill Stevenson

Someone suggested the easy way to handle those springs is to loop some
safety wire around the hook and clamp the ends together using a vise
grip pliers. Pull and the spring opens easily with no danger of busting
your knuckles. I tired that method and it works great. Not my idea, but
another pilot's good suggestion.

I use a pair of 12" long needle nose pliers. Grab the spring and use both hands
and lean into it and use your weight instead of your wrist and forearm. The springs
from CPS (original Rotax springs) are less stout than a few aircraft MFG's.
They are easier to install and work just fine. Don't forget to safety wire
them and applie high temp silicone as per Rotax.

- I use a Phillips screwdriver.- Slide it through the spring hook, then
put the tip on the welded loop.- Push on the handle, and the hook will s
lide down the screwdriver shank, right into place.- We used this trick on
heavy truck brake return springs.
