I have safeair tanks and lopresti lights. I simply installed the power converter in the last bay of the leading edge. I had it in the wing tip, but moved it because I was getting radio interferance on my nav, because of the nav anteena in the tip. The light is close, but does not conflict with the fuel tank. I LOVE MY LOPESTI LIGHTS!!!!!

The power converter is not the problem. The light itself, and the bracket the light is mounted on, hits the tank and will not let me get the tip anywhere near where it needs to be to install. I would love to see some photos if you have any. I would sure love to be able to install these lights.

Hello everyone. Are there any RV guys in Sacramento CA? I am stranded in Sacramento. My VM100C has failed and I need tools and a place to do a little bit of work. Please call me on my cell phone 772-418-1417 if you can help. For everyone's information: VMC1000C has been replaced by a new model, including all wiring and probes. If you have an older model, contact them to get your unit exchanged. Do not archive.

The rear most 3-3.5 rivet is impossible to buck due to the F-1042 bulkhead above it. The rivet is sandwiched between the bulkhead and the F-1049C fwd fuse floor rib. Does anyone have any wisdom to impart for this rivet? Looks like a good candidate for a MK-319-BS rivet.

Interesting, I had just a friend with the same failure after only 30hrs on it, the unit would have get exchanged but they wanted close to 2000$ for all the probes as the old once could not be reused!

Based my (limited) experience building the complete empennage kit I would go the way of the pop rivet. Per Van's one or two MK-319-BS will not be a big deal when the other rivets are correctly riveted. I have learned that trying to rivet something hard to reach is simply not worth it (to me).

Anyone giving JPI any serious thought for anything needs to search the various Matronics archives for JPI.

It is very hard to see when the engine is on the mount already, as there's not much room to get in there and look. That's how to *orient* the harness.
