I came across some cool items that might interest some of you. The link below is for the Thomas & Betts ty-rap catalog. Check out page 32 for a low profile ty-rap. The end lays along side the other piece to form a smooth "buckle" (no bloody hands). Page 33 has a double loop ty-rap that can be used to attach a wire bundle to a tube. They also have a variety of ty-rap mounts and stainless steel ty-raps. If you have trouble finding a local supplier, try your local electrician's supply house. Thomas & Betts is known for their electrical parts. Question? Could the stainless steel ty-raps be used in high heat applications such as FWF and exhaust wrap? These items have been around for a while but I thought some of you might want a catalog and might find something you didn't know existed. Click the link below. http://www.tnb.com/contractor/docs/tyrap.pdf Dave Thompson Westminster, CA ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:04:48 AM PST US From: Bryan Martin Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: Sunshades revisited The tape that was supplied with my sunshade has held up well so far. Just make sure to adjust the bend of the rail to closely match the curve of the canopy to reduce the stress on the tape and thouroghly clean the surfaces before attaching. If you need to buy attachment tapes, they are probably available at you your local auto parts store or auto body shop. The 3M AcrylicPlus tape looks good for this application.

Anyway, I have never had any issue with it of any kind, the sticky strips are still sticky, the slide still slides. I use it all the time - extended for taxi/ground work, pulled back for takoff and pattern work. The only time it doesan't cover enough is cross country where you are at altitude on a sunny day. I usually just put a map up under the edge of it to block the side sun if it's an issue (one of those small suction cup shades may be better for that side sun than a map ;-). The fact that it's always there and so easy to extend/retract, makes it worth the price IMO.

Jim, I had the same experience trying to find that info. Finally found it on WW's website in the 7 Dec 2005 Suppliers Update. The contact info for Mark Petniunas of Falcon Automotive is shown as: 2043 S Fish Hatchery Road Oregon, WI 53575 (608) 835-3317 I think it should have read Fitchburg rather than Oregon in the address.

I'm curious why you don't bring the fuel along behind the spar in under the seats and go forward thru the center spar to join at a selector valve forward of the spar. Aluminum tube and fittings are easily arranged to do this. You'll also need a convenient accessible connection at the wing joint to be able to remove the wings.
