I painted them white to match the wing. The paint gummed up the threads
just enough to eliminate the need for jam nuts, just as I planned.

I have older Safeair statics ports which protrude about a 1/32 inch out of the
skin on my plane. (Newer ports form SafeAir are the same they simply beveled the
edge of the port.)
I have a G900X system with Gretz pitot.
I have done GPS speed tests and find TAS is indicating 4 knots lower than actual.
I have read Tim's post on changing ports to improve the error.
Has anyone with similar system as mine found a similar error and been able to reduce
or eliminate it?

Thanks everyone! Sounds like I won't need the jam nuts even if I do leave
them in... which I probably won't.
On the other hand, I am going to permanently attach my tail tail down.
Wouldn't want the rudder fairing taking damage if a tail strike were to
happen...
