    Subject: Gear/Flap light bulbs
    From: "Mozam" <sdalton@hughes.net>
    I needed some replacement light bulbs for my Yak's landing gear and flap indicators. I ordered some BA7S bulbs, which BTW come in a package labeled 3899 bulbs. They look fine except they have a lip on the metal part of the bulb's base where the glass is mounted into the base of the bulb. This lip prevents the bulb from being inserted into the indicator lens. Where the heck do you guys buy bulbs without this pesky lip that will fit into the indicator lens? Thanks, Steve Dalton Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=394052#394052

    Steve, We have the standard bulbs. The led version are sometimes available through Russia.

    Steve, I'm not sure how kosher this is, but... upon encountering this same problem, I literally filed the "bump" down. The bulbs then fit and worked fine...

    Yes the push rods will fall out on the bottom cylinders. Try to find away to hold them in place (maybe stuffing a clean rag around them. The "rope trick" should work.

    Simple answer, yes. When the push rod is pulled from the tube watch out for t he tappet ( push rod cup) and spring that it sits on top of. They can fall o ut. There are two of the little cup like creatures. One rides the lobe on th e cam plate. The spring fits in the center of both. The half most likely to f all out sits at the tip of the push rod. Incidentally, these can come off fr om any of the push rods. More likely on the gravity prone cylinders though. Now do you really mean grind the valve seats? This is usually because the ex haust valve is leaking on the compression test. I hope you are not going to ream your valve guides. To replace valve guides y ou will need to pull the cylinders. The rope trick will not work for that.

    From: "Vic" <vicmolnar@aol.com>
    Hi Robin, basically the rope trick itself should work. I used this for replacing valve guide seals in car engines a few times. But in case of the M 14 these have 14mm spark plug threads, 1.25mm pitch, not 3/4 " or 18mm, so with a 14mm exhaust valve stem you wont be able to pull the valve stem through the spark hole to polish the seized stem. But after feeling the rather sloppy fit of an M14 ex valve I would not believe that this Lycontisaurus problem is common to M 14 radials as well. Anyone knows more about this topic ?? Sure I had stuck ex valves in earlier times on vintage motor bikes when I put bronce guides in cast iron heads. But soon I found out that the bronce definitely reduced its inner diameter with time - no carbon build up in the bore. The reamer had to take quite a bit of bronce to restore the initial fit. So I learned to bake the bronce before finish turning the guide, apply only minimal press fit and provide extra clearance for the stem. And I lived happily ever after ........

    Hiya All, Has anyone had any success hooking up a western radio to the standard CJ6 blade antenna? Would anyone have a spare coax connector they could sell me for the Chinese antenna? Cheers Egon. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=394120#394120
