George,
I did a search for Klemm fuel filter and came up with several results. Does yours have a paper type filter or a "chemstone" filter? Here is a link to a place selling the stone filter for about $10: http://askenzos.com/Store/viewitem.php?productid=2244
Good luck!
Jay Herron

Thanks all for the comments
Having been around the Matronics lists for more than a few years, I'm
fully aware that I am not building a space shuttle.
So much so that I have returned the silica bricks (except a few that I
kept to repair the fireplace) and cancelled the solid fuel boosters
order.
Seriously: what I described is quite simple and does not add to the
workload.
On the contrary, I strongly believe that it saves time by avoiding
glitches and associated head-scratching. I have used this process in the
wings and tail feathers (all done) and fuse (past "boat stage").
Happy building
Carlos

I have noticed - through other builders comments, but also through
my own experience - that using clecoes to keep parts together sometimes
does not quite work.
The parts do remain attached, not doubt, but they can be slightly
shifted from the original position when they were drilled.
Here's why, in case you don't know:
The rivet whole is slightly larger than the rivet, and a cleco,
having an irregular shape, has plenty of room to move in a rivet hole.
For instance an A5 Avex rivet has a diameter between 0.140" and
0.155" (the rivet has "fins", therefore the diameter varies).
A solid rivet diameter is 0.155"
The corresponding drill bit is 0.160".
A black cleco is 0.149" at its widest point - but it is not round.
(Note: these are measurements I took from Items I have. You may
find slightly different measurements.)
In longer parts (more than a foot or two) or assemblies of more
than two parts, I find that if parts are not perfectly aligned, it's
hard to insert the rivets. And, worse, parts will be warped or difficult
to match as I proceed with construction.
So, instead of simply trusting the clecoes, I started adding spent
drill bits here and there (a solid rivet is better than a cleco, but not
as good as a spent drill bit).
I eventually started cutting drill bits and grinding one end to
make it easier to insert them.
(The grinding process consists of putting the drill bit in a drill
or drill press and grinding it with a dremel tool.).
The opposite end is covered with masking tape - see attached
photo.
I have a bunch of these, A4 and A5, and use them frequently.
Hopefully this can be useful to someone.
