So I did. Now you have me thinking. My dowel was almost drilled out, as I did it to reline a off centre drill, and only a very small part of the dowel remained. I will ask my engineering mate when I see him.

Silicone the 1/8" gap and mold fiberglass inserts that fit flush in the 1" X 3" cutouts. That is the way mine was with the exception that I had not made the fiberglass inserts yet. I was still using the original covers for the holes which were made of aluminum rectangles a little biger than the holes with tabs on the inside and two springs inside to squeeze them to the wings.

The installation of the fuel system and almost everything else that goes on the firewall is now complete. The exhaust pipes should be in by next Friday, from Jet-Hot, and I have a long weekend to get the plane ready so we can light the engine. Tomorrow, I will start on the spinner, but probably won't get far as we have a lot of Mothers day stuff to do. So far, everything is working except the fuel gauge and I think it might be that I just don't have it grounded properly. CLICK HERE. They are the first 8 pics, then click on the pic. http://kr-builder.org/FirewallForward/index.html See you in Mt.

I laid the bottom cowl bottom side up and laid plastic over the damaged area plus a bit extra. I then laid up three layers of glass over the plastic. I marked the damaged area to be cut out, overlaid the new cured glass and marked out an area approx one inch larger. I then cut out the damaged area, trimmed the new glass and epoxy/floxed it in place. This afternoon I mixed some epoxy/micro, feathered the edges and laid one layer of deck cloth over the patch. I'll sand off the edges in the morning, mount the cowl and go flying. I'll worry about the primer and paint later when I re-do my left wing and wheel covers. I've finished rebuilding/painting the 500X5 wheels and brakes and have new lower attach fittings built and painted. I hope to get them mounted in the next few weeks. I haven't drilled the fittings for the gear leg attach yet as I hope to do a toe-in, toe-out adjustment when I mount them. I recently purched a cheap laser level and will use that to set them at zero toe-in. The 500X5 tires are the same diameter as my 600X6's (13 inches) but they only look half as wide. Now I need to bite the bullet and order a set of the new RV pants. My friends flying Mooneys will have to run an extra inch or two manifold pressure to stay with me when I get them mounted. :-) Don't forget to get out of the house tomorrow by going to the airport so your kids Mother can have a day of peace and quiet. :-) Larry Flesner ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ See KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html End of KRnet Digest, Vol 347, Issue 180 *************************************** ================================== ABC Amber Outlook Converter v4.20 Trial version ==================================
