TG,
When doing a firewall restoration, do people usually just repaint the Finish
and Trim and the Paint Stripper Warning Plates, or order new ones from
Fletcher?
Also, what's a good method for cleaning out the inside of the nose fork. I
was thinking of trying to borrow a 25mm Chain Gun bore brush on base, but in
case that doesn't materialize, any other techniques out there?

I mask off the data plates so they are not painted.
I use a brake hone to clean out the inside of the strut socket and then
lacquer thinner on a paper towel or rag.

I remove them, clean them, and rivet them back on when it's done.

TG,
I haven't checked with Fletchair yet (and I will), but I was wondering about
a new fuel pump while doing the firewall restoration. Once again, my old
one works fine, just looks bad (probably original if the logbook is
correct). I notice that although it has "Bendix" stamp on the top, it also
has a "Facet" sticker on the side, and Spruce has Facet pumps advertised
that say something to the effect of "for some Grummans". Is this the same
pump? The AA-1B parts manual doesn't give the Facet part number--it has
Bendix listed as the manufacturer. I've called John Cook (Fletchair) almost
everyday this week about something, so I thought I'd give 'em a break for a
day or two before I called back.
Also, one more question about baffling. Me and the A&P are gonna make new
baffling once the engine is back. I'm assuming there's a kit out there for
an O-320, but I've not been able to find one in all the usual places
(Spruce, Chief, etc). Fletchair says they have some pieces, but not
everything. So, do you make this stuff from scratch or where can I find a
kit? Gary, I know you powder coat yours--I'll probably try to do something
like that.
By the way, I appreciate all the help--I know I haven't responded to all the
messages individually, but there will be a big thank you letter going out
after she's all put back together.

p.s. Shop called about the crankshaft today, asking whether or not there
had ever been a prop strike. Seems the crank flange is run out 14/1000ths
of an inch vs. the maximum 5/1000ths of an inch acceptable. I asked the guy
what else could cause that kind of damage and he said "prop strike".
Interesting--one more thing not in the book. And, it hasn't happened since
the engine was put in the plane 250 hours ago. My A&P thinks it might have
been an engine salvaged off an old Apache that landed gear up.
