This one should be easy.
A new owner of an AA1B came in with the vacuum gage reading at the high
end of the gage. My first thought was the regulator. When I crawled
under the panel (no easy feat in a two-seater) I noticed there was only
one vacuum line going to the gage and the source was the one port on
the back of the AI. I looked on mine and the fitting on the AI from
the filter (on mine) has a Tee on it going to the vacuum gage and also
a fitting on the AI going to the vacuum gage.
I looked at a couple of hardware sources and I can't find the
hose-T-fitting (pipe thread for the AI, 3/8 inch hose fitting to the
vacuum filter, hose fitting for the vacuum gage) that goes on the back
of the AI. It looks like a special fitting. I called Fletchair to see
if they had one from an old AI and they didn't.
Any suggestions?
