| Subject: | Re: Main Gear Support Rubbers' Replacemen - 601XL |
Tony,
When it came time to install my main gear, I found that I had supported the fuselage
too low.? I had to raise the fuselage to get clearance to install the gear.?
I had the rear of the fuselage supported on a jack stand,? I set up the rig
shown in the photos and lifted it VERY slowly ( I was working alone, so the
pucker factor was really high ).? I would lift it enough to get another 2 x 4
under it and lift again. I kept this up until I had the needed clearance and
the nose gear firmly supported on blocks. ? When the main gear was installed,
I just reversed the procedure. Hope this helps.

Subject: Zenith601-List: Main Gear Support Rubbers' Replacemen - 601XL
?
After over 1000 landings (over 150 very-rough field landings) it is time to
replace my main gear support rubbers. (I wondered what that rattling noise
was when taxiing over the grass/dirt-mud/ gravel - turned out to caused by a
missing "rubber" between the gear and fuselage gear support fitting on the
left hand side).?
?
?
I have some ideas on how to jack up for replacement, but if anyone else has
done it on a full-up 601XL, I would appreciate info on how you did it.?
?
?
Thanks,?

| Subject: | Firewall surface treatment? |
Hello,
I am working on the support brackets for my 601 firewall which I made out of
26 gauge galvanized steel as listed in the drawings. I am treating the
Aluminum
surfaces with self etching primer. Any ideas, suggestions on whether and
how
to treat the galvanized steel parts?

I left mine bare. It doesn't need any treatment, the zinc coating will
protect it.

Hello Bryan,
I agree that the zinc coating will protect steel from the elements on
it's own.
My question/concern was if there was anything special that might be needed
for the contact surfaces between aluminum and the galvanized steel to
protect
it over time.

As I recall, I put zinc chromate primer on the aluminum where it meets
the firewall, although it really wasn't necessary. Zinc and aluminum
play well together, you shouldn't need any treatment between the two.
Zinc or cadmium are the two recommended platings for fasteners used
with aluminum because there is minimal corrosion potential between
them. Stainless steel is another matter, aluminum will act as a
sacrificial anode to stainless, so a coating between the two is
necessary if there is a chance exposure to moisture.
