Nice pull tab
 
I saw this nifty pull tab on Ron Moring's BEAUTIFUL RV-8A over the weekend.

He said he bought it but doesn't remember from where.

Anyone know the source?

And I thought you were talking about the pull tab on a beer can.

Make a drawing of it with a few dimensions and I could make one for you.

Looks like a rope cleat from a marine store to me.

I actually machined those a few years ago. I was making one for a friend and ran a few extras. I probably have one laying around if you are interested send me a PM. For the longest time I used one as a bathroom door stop.

I'm with Mike, the only pull-tabs in my hangar are in the fridge. :rolleyes:

Jesse, Thanks for the compliment but I better get on that ugly twisted off screw in the upper left corner. Luckily it was the only one in the entire canopy. Thanks Ron

Yep!
 
Ya never know when you're going to end up on the front page! :D

You should share the rest of your excellent work. They need PICTURES around here you know!

My 8 will be sporting this tab shortly!



Couse, I have some work left before I can mount it, but I'm getting there!

Thanks Tres!

How much does that handle weigh?

Not much
 
It's aluminum. Maybe half an ounce.

I don't have a small scale.
