(MacDonald Doug) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:39:03 PM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: replacing fuel lines From: "jf3sb" 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.

From: "jf3sb" 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.
