David Paule 3B Update
Plugging along on the FAB. I managed to screw up the top plate and put another one on order, so I’ll get to redo many of the fitting checks that I’d just completed. What joy.
The glue decision has been resolved for that bottom Titanium plate I made. It’s being glued down with Pro-Seal.I had an unopened container in my freezer and figured this was a good time to introduce it to the room temperature world. After glueing down the titanium ellipse, I set it on a floor heat vent in the house, with weights to help hold it down. After a week it was fully cured. It might have been cured before then but that’s when I checked it.
The O-320 FAB plans call for AN970-4 washers for the mounting plate bolts to the carburetor. But these are so big that they overhang the air flow path. I got some AN970-3 washers, which are the right OD, and drilled out the ID for an F drill, clearance for the 1/4” bolts. Then I primed them (can’t leave a bare steel edge) and baked them. I bake small primed things at 150 F for an hour, and they fully cure. Just put them in a small oven on some aluminum foil. Don’t want food on my parts or primer on my food, after all.

HIC module RV12is
Have a no start problem. Tech at Lockwood says HIC module is the problem. Anyone have had a similar problem and fixed it by replacing module. Sam

Dimple scratches, what now
First time builder, dimpling skins for the HS. I have the male die on the bottom of the DRDT2, and (try) carefully scoot the skin around, setting the male die into the holes. 97% are fine, but some take some challenge finding the hole.... Are these scratches on the outside skin something I need...

Teflon on the fuel line - not a good idea...
I would like to share a couple of photos from a Van's RV fuel system restoration. Still happens to find teflon tape, in the flared part too. Ok, there is filter (or filters) on the way but is not a good idea using teflon tape in the fuel line. 2c

Exhaust bolt
I discovered a missing spring and nut on my exhaust today while doing an oil change. Since I bought this and didn't build it, I am having trouble finding a replacement. I don't know the exhaust manufacturer. Anyone recognize these? Thanks, Ron Kirkland
