Wow.- I was surprised to see my name on that list, Gary.
For the record folks, I am the very young grasshopper in this kung-fu story
.- Before I ever hit the 'send' button, I must be careful that I am not r
evealing something that Master Gary or Master Bob S has shared with me in c
onfidence.-
It takes all kinds to make a world.- The grumman world would be far less
colorful and we would all be groping in the dark at a much slower pace if i
t were not for these characters.- I am delighted to call them both friend
s.
Bob Hodo... hitting the send button knowing that I alone am responsible for

Hey Larry, heads up. This is for you .
I got the inlet installed today. Pretty easy actually. The air
filter portion sits a bit lower than the airbox on the carb. Not a big
deal. I'll be using the same black duct that goes on a real Tiger.
I ran into a clearance problem with the #2 exhaust riser. I thought
about making the new air box only for planes with a Power Flow but
didn't bare listening to all the whining. More to come.

I do. But, I had to cut a notch in it to get it to fit around #2 riser and I'd
rather not send out the notched picture.
I'll work on the airbox today after I paint the underside of my new roof on the
upstairs balcony.

Got a question on gas caps.
During an annual on a 79 Tiger, I noticed the fuel cap "O" ring was deteriorated
and decided to replace the "O" rings. When I opened up the inside for the
little "O" ring, I found some Tinnerman clips acting as springs for the locking
mechanism. Had I not just done the same "O" ring replacement on a 79 Cheetah's
fuel caps, I wouldn't have questioned it. I tried to find info on it in the
maintenance manual but it isn't there. No IPB. I found this link during a
Google search. It's helpful, but I still need a parts breakdown.

About 15 years ago I tried a whole bunch of ways to cover the foam gear leg
fairings. What I found was that any material used for covering cracked and
deteriorated faster than the foam itself. Plus, it was not easy to get the
material on straight. Keep it simple.

Hey Gary
I'd be interested to see what had to be done to the front baffle. As we disc
ussed when I looked into doing this I think my #2 PF exhaust (the AG5B proto
type) makes it even tighter than the newer ones....just added to the reasons
I went for the Jag....

My Cheetah had aluminum fairings installed that are somewhat common. Gene Pl
azak used to sell them or plans describing how to build them
When I removed them I like some others hound that the fairing had chafed alm
ost thru the aluminum brake line. If you do a fairing like this be sure and p
revent it from slipping down and ruining your brakes

| Subject: | Grumman gas caps. |
About a year ago, my IA and I found a cap with two of the three springs
inside broken. I finally tracked down the company that makes the Shaw Aero
caps (I don't remember the exact story, but I think Shaw Aero had been sold
to a new =22parent=22 company). Anyway, I spoke with the guy who presented
himself as the tech rep for the fuel cap product. To say he was less than
helpful would be an understatement. His position was that, since there was
no approved field repair for the caps, he would provide neither drawings nor
parts lists to me nor my IA. He said the only fix/repair/service for a worn
or broken cap was to send it to his facility for overhaul to the tune of
something like =24325. This is my recollection of something that happened
over a year ago, so the specific details might be a little off, but they are
close. What I am absolutely sure of is that I couldn't get any tech support
from the company now making the Shaw Aero caps. If somebody can schmooze a
parts list or tech drawing, I'd sure like a copy. Oh, a source for parts
would be awesome too. As if=21

TeamGrumman-List: Grumman gas caps.=0A About a year ago, my IA and I foun

down the company that makes the Shaw Aero =0Acaps (I don=99t remembe

ere was no approved field =0Arepair for the caps, he would provide neither
drawings nor parts lists to me nor =0Amy IA. He said the only fix/repair

erhaul to the tune of something like $325. This =0Ais my recollection of
something that happened over a year ago, so the specific =0Adetails might
be a little off, but they are close. What I am absolutely sure =0Aof is t
hat I couldn=99t get any tech support from the company now making th

I don't even mind Ron's shtick so much as the list moderator's view that
they reserve the right to control membership and content to a ridiculous
degree.
