Here is the listing: 540 Lycoming Engine Brackets & Mounts You are bidding on brackets that fit most Lycoming engines requiring the 1.380 mount hole. This is being offered by a Rocket builder which needed the large hole ears and trying to sell the small hole versions. You will find them selling for around $100.00 each for just the brackets so please bid in that ball park. I will be posting on the RV matronics site to generate interest. The builder did try to mount the engine so they are slightly used. I understand that RV 10 users are in need of these so spread the word! 4 Engine Brackets & Mounts for Lycoming 540-Part #70456 Current price: $112.50 End time: Dec-29-09 19:00:00 PST [Rolling Eyes] Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=278945#278945 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:54:15 PM PST US From: "DLM" Subject: RV10-List: EGT probes Just a follow up to he previous post. The problem was the probe; First I examined the probe and did not find it to be destroyed like the first so I considered that it might me the bad crimps in the connection to the EIS. After re-crimping and soldering, the probe still read 500F below the others. After replacing the probe with a new higher? quality one from GRT, the #6 probe reacts like the others. For future reference it would probably be in the builders best interest to pay extra for the higher quality probes or get them from Alcore or GEM or EI instead. I have spent an extra 5-10 hours of labor checking and changing these probes. If there is another premature failure on the GRT originals I may try GRT higher quality probes, If #6 fails prematurely I will be going the third party probe route.

Page 10-11 step 2 has builder match-drill all common holes to side skins and longerons. Page 10-16 step 1 has builder machine countersink all skins holes in longerons except those aft associated with empennage gap cover. My question is that the forward most longeron hole aligns with a back tab of the forward F-1006 Bulkhead and I just want to make certain I read this right that this most forward hole gets countersunk now and not later at some point when the tail cone is matched and jointed to the forward fuselage. Any other "gouge" would be appreciated. I've read through Tim's gottchas and notes but did not see reference to this specific issue. Just being careful, Tom Koelzer #40950 Tail Cone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
