Thanks! I'll get the viton seals and give them a try. I use Amsoil ATF fluid. https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/ATF.aspx?zo=1785021ww.amsoil.com/storefront/A
And I carry a Halon extinguisher. 170 hours and the pads look OK although I just
ordered Rapco pads, rotors and desser tires.

Hmm,
While the Amsoil is a hydraulic fluid, I don't know that it tells you
anything about its suitability for aircraft brakes. Things like
compatibility with seals, flash point, viscosity vs temp range.
Given that the Royco 782 that is aircraft brake fluid, and is compatible
with all other aircraft brake fluids, is within $1 of the same price for
a quart, I question this diversion to non-aircraft fluid. When you leak
some and need to top off at an FBO, will you know how 5606 that they
have on hand will react with the Amsoil? TheMIL-PRF-83282D assures that
the Royco will be compatible, only losing some of its higher flash
point, if mixed.
I can't imagine why you would need rotors before you have a few thousand
hours on the plane.

I ordered the rotors just to keep on the shelf as long as I was stocking up on
pads and other parts. I was recommended to use the ATF a while ago, and after
some research decided to use it. Higher flash point as well.
Again, look here - https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/ATF.aspx?zo=1785021ww.amsoil.com/storefront/A
Your point is well taken however.

| Subject: | Re: Plane Power and Lycoming Pulley Alignment Issue |
I bought the $30 kit and it worked perfectly. Fortunately, the old bushing twisted
right out so I didn't have to do the solvent soak I've read about.
For the cross brace I just flattened out some of the z-bend in the vice but left
a little for retention grip.
I agree that the builder shouldn't have to eat the cost of this fix through no
fault of their own. In my case, I am installing A/C and specifically needed the
double pulley so I didn't press the issue of payment.
One would think that if it costs so much to machine the bushing, that the old bushing
would have some residual value to Plane Power.

| Subject: | Windscreen Installation |
Hi
Today I had a fun filled time trimming my windscreen in anticipation of
installing it tomorrow.
Looking at the plans, it would seem that the inside of the windscreen, at
the bottom, would merely reveal the epoxy / fibreglass used to glue it in
place (on the outside). I am wondering if it is necessary to cover the
interior with something so it looks finished.
Any comments / ideas?
Cheers
Les

I used carbon fiber for the windscreen lower section. I found the carbon
fiber easier to work with then glass, and it looks cool on the inside.

To quote Emily Latella, "Nevermind". I found the dye. Spruce lists it as a
pigment and not as a dye. I think I know where I can get it locally as well.
