Default 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.

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.

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

My 8 will be sporting this tab shortly!



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