I used a lock that came with the ACS ignition switch but this looks about
the same.

Subject: RV-List: canopy latch
I have a sliding canopy RV6 with a canopy rail type locking latch. I have a
situation where I need to replace it due to a key mishap where I had to
drill
it out to get back in to my locked canopy at a remote airport. Anyway I
cannot
find a receipt to where I purchased it and was wondering if anybody
remembers
seeing these locks made for the side skirt & slot in canopy rail for the 6,
7,
9 canopies. The key says ACS on it and I thought it would be Aircraft
Spruce
but I checked old catalogues that I have and haven't found it, even called
them
they said no such thing. They did have a mini canopy latch which I ordered
and
it is too small to fill the hole. It's the same idea though, a blade that
turns 90 deg.& slips into the slotted rail. Anybody remember seeing these
anywhere? Thanks,
Dave Ford

| Subject: | cheap tailwheel tire |
SNIP Hi gang,
I'm doing a little experiment. I just purchased a few hard rubber
wheels from Surplus Center to see if they can be used as a tail wheel
replacement. They cost $4.95 each, and have really nice sealed ball
bearings (6203-RSV). They have a 2 1/8 " hub width, so mounting with
a few spacer washers will work.The problem is that the bore of the
ball bearing is 17 mm. Can someone on the list make me an aluminum or
steel reduction bushing, 17mm OD, 3/8" ID, and 2 1/8" long? OR do any
of you bearing gurus know of a replacement bearing ? This whole
thing may be a bust, but that's why we build experimentals. Also, S/C
has 3000 of these wheels in stock. Thanks for reading. Even more
thanks if someone has a solution.
Louis SNIP
Louis and others,
I've been involved in tailwheels for several years now. These tires
might be just fine, but be careful with the bearings. I've found that
many bearings aren't always up to the job. You might find out too... at
an inconvenient time, like on roll out with a crosswind!
I no longer offer tires like these due to too many problems. If you
want a GOOD tire, order one from Wayne Hadath (Canada) or me. The tire
that I offer is 6 oz LIGHTER than the type from the Surplus Center.
Sure, it's $65 instead of $5... but you get what you pay for.
I'd wager that 3000 surplus tires wouldn't be on auction if they were
perfect, or even marginal!

I purchased mine in March. Locked up at least ten times on the way back
from OSH to So. Cal. Wish I had known about customer service before
buying as well. Will buy Garmin next time.
