| I finished install of the blast tube for the right mag, same as the left. John Cox, gave me an idea, which was to fab a fan shaaped |
|
| 'nozzel' out of some 5/8" alum or brass, and clamp that on the end of the blast tube, carefully constructed it would provide a fan |
|
| effect to a broader area of the magneto. Thanks John! Last couple of days have been spent replacing the plastic brake lines wih |
|
| some braided stainless steel teflon coated lines from Bonaco. I've been dreading this because it meant many hours upside down |
|
| under the instrument panel and several trips into and out of the cockpit! I used weedwacker line to measure the lengths, and in |
|
| hindsight I would have used something LESS flexible, the brake lines don't bend to as small a radius as the weedwacker and it |
|
| throws off some of the measurements. I drained all of the brake fluid from the system. then tackled the right side (which |
|
| connects to the reserviour). I had to replace the 90 degree fittings that came with the lines with straight AN fittings in order ot get |
|
| the best fit. I was able to use couple of the 1" lightening holes in the rudder support bracket and put a rubber gommet on each |
|
| line that connects to the left side. Moved on to the left side, where I used a combo of straight and 90 degree fittings. Also |
|
| replaced the fittings in the Matco to smaller -3's. Iwill probably do some adjusting on the placement on the left side as the lines |
|
| are sill more visible than I would like. Last I replcaed the alum lines from the fuse to the brake itself. the lines in the tunnel were |
