'Hello, I hope someone who REALLY knows, will reply to your question. If they don't, I believe that NO shielding wire should ever be grounded on BOTH ends of the wire. Doing so, makes the shielding an antenna for stray electrical noise, which is exactly opposite of what you are trying to do by insta...

'Bruce and Bob, I also have a 24-K and I am interested in what you find out -- both in size and cost. I currently have a Teflon packing material in mine. It seems to work (holds DOT-5 silicone) but may be interested in purchasing a new material, just in case. Please post your results to this list. T...

'Mike, Closely read Tom's reply. He did NOT say that he sent the Installation manual with the paperwork. He said "...I used the phrase in block 8 of the 337 --- Installed In Accordance With the King installation manual number ##, dated xx,xx,xx.". If you did NOT include that statement on y...

'Frank, The Fairchild master cylinder is the same as used in an early Chrysler automobile (about a 1937 Plymouth). It was produced by an automotive supplier and a rebuild kit can be purchased new today as Wagner brake kit #3630. NAPA probably sells them. You cannot use the Wagner piston, cause it is...

'Norbert, You might consider putting a pair of ten foot, two by twelves under the main gear. You could set them into the dirt floor, such that they slope a little towards the door, that way you would be winching the airplane uphill, and it would more easily roll out, downhill. Just a thought. Bob Wa...

'Bob Webster, In your note, you said "> I did receive a note from my last attempt at this from John Casner saying that Bill Sprigs has made a casting that cured the problem. I am assuming that it is a casting of a shorter trailing link. > I use one of Bill Sprigs Trailing Links, and it works GR...
