The complete RV-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/RV-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** RVSouthEast-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RVSouthEast-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the RVSouthEast-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. RVSouthEast-List Policy Statement The purpose of the RVSouthEast-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.] ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:33:17 AM PST US From: Rick Galati Subject: RV-List: RE: tie downs --> RV-List message posted by: Rick Galati Just guessing of course, but could it be that therein lies the source of the problem?

I have the required 1" above the tire, and the pants are aligned in all of the axes. However, when I install the brake calipers, the lower edges of the calipers and the bleed nipples interfere with the fairings. I triple checked the installation of the axels and caliper mounting brackets -- they look correct and they match photographs of other people's RV-8s. I called Vans and they said they had never heard of this problem. A search of the archives reveals one instance of this about five years ago, but no real solutions or further information. Anybody have any ideas? I have the new (epoxy, not gel coat) fairings. Thanks. -Geoff RV-8 Just $16.99/mo. or less. dsl.yahoo.com ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:54:47 PM PST US From: WFACT01@aol.com Subject: Re: RV-List: RV8 Wheel Fairing / Brake Caliper Interference --> RV-List message posted by: WFACT01@aol.com geoff- i had the same problem--tom TOM WHELAN 249 HARDHILL RD NORTH BETHLEHEM CT. 06751 WFACT01@AOL.COM TEL-203-2665300 FAX 203 266-5140 AIRPORT-CT01-----122.725 RV-8-SP-IO-540-350+HP---62HRS S-51-MUSTANG-TURBINE F-24 FAIRCHILD ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 07:16:40 PM PST US From: "Larry Bowen" Subject: RE: RV-List: RV8 Wheel Fairing / Brake Caliper Interference --> RV-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" Same here.

They don't seem to indicate how the springs are fastened to the panel. The drawing shows some sort of rivet-like fastener, but there's no other information about it. Can anyone tell me what this is? Also, does use of the full grommet make the stud captive or not? The "half grommets" apparently capture the stud, which I don't want in my application. Are the full grommets suitable for installation in fiberglass? Thanks, -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A
