Not sure about a roll pin. Grommet: As I recall, without looking at the parts manual, I think I put the "O" ring on the outside. Gary -----Original Message----- From: Ian Matterface Sent: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:01 am Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Canopy latch grommet/ AG5B Control wheel Cap About to O/H an early AA5 canopy latch assembly and use the latter NAS1368N-6B Flip over Grommet. Does the AN6227B-7 O-ring go under the head of the grommet on the O/S of the canopy or under the flip over lip on the inside. I think it should be the former, but not sure.? Need to remove one of the caps on a AG5B control column which has the PTT switch mounted in it. Looking at the sides of the control column grips it looks like the cap is held in with small roll pins or screws. Anyone ever removed one of these caps before.?

I'm going to start taking pictures of it today. The DER will be here Monday for the conformity inspection. Now it gets fun. The offer still stands. I need to sell 3 more cowlings at $6000/ea. The hinge for the center upper cowling is $385. Baffles, before they are trimmed to fit, run about $300 (that's a guess, the first ones will be the hardest.) Painting will run a few hundred dollars. I recommend the short stack powerflow. I mean, why cut up the cowling to put the stock exhaust in if you don't have to? ________________________________________________________________________ from AOL at AOL.com. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:24:30 PM PST US From: mattd Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: First Production Cowling OK - I really want your cowling. If I were in CA this would be a slam dunk. Is it yet good enough to have another good A&P install? matt drahzal teamgrumman@aol.com wrote: > > I've got the first production cowling.

I'll know more about how much expertise it needs to install the cowling after I have installed a couple. The reality is, based on the workmanship I see on pretty much every plane I work on for the first time, I'd say there are very few A&Ps with whom I'd trust the installation. The primary area of concern for me is the close tolerances. For example: there is less than 3/16 inch gap between the prop and the cowling. And, the gap between the metal baffles and the cowling are different from side to side because the engine moves asymmetrically in its mount. Agina, like I said, I'll know more as I build the installation instructions. Gary PS, I weighed the cowling. 17.5 pounds without the hardware. -----Original Message----- From: mattd Sent: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:28 pm Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: First Production Cowling OK - I really want your cowling.
