| Subject: | Re: replacing fuel lines |
Given all the questions about fuel additives nowadays, if I had a choice I'd run
aluminum lines as already mentioned. You might not be able to do that though
unless you open the whole back up the skin up.
I'd recommend putting in the small access holes on the underside of the wing, which
are probably a good idea anyway. Then I'd run the clear polyurethane tubing
(sold by Wicks and Spruce). Thats what I put in my wings 5 or 6 years ago.
Lighter than rubber, not subject to vibrations, and I figured they were less
susceptible to rot. I threw a couple scraps of the stuff in my mower gas
can back then and they've been rattling around in there ever since. Checked them
a few months ago and they've darkened a lot, but are still just as tough and
pliable as they were new.

| Subject: | camlocks in a 701 cowl? |
I'm trying to decide whether to substitute camlocks, Skybolt equivalents, or something
of that ilk for the screw/washer/nutplate method recommended by Zenith
for attaching the top cowl to the lower cowl (Zenith-provided fiberglass version).
The screw/nutplate method is great in terms of cost, weight, and pretty
much everything else except convenience. I suspect if I had 1/4 turn fasteners,
I'd be more apt to pop the top cowl and take a look around more often.
Anybody try using camlocks? If so, what series and how are you getting along with
it in terms of security and wear?
Thanks...

For the last 35 yrs or so I've used Southco fasteners. They will be on my
701 as well. ACS and various supply houses have them.

I'm using wing nut Dzus fasteners on my cowl. I wouldn't call them easy to set
up but wern't too bad. Trouble is that they are not very flexible when it comes
to grip length. I've had to order a few different lengths to get ones that
would work in all locations. At least with my old bed style mount cowl.
