    Mine are not installed yet - plan for one on each tank, and one main valve in cockpit - part # 1PZA8.

    Believe this part number is used for 2 sizes, but there are two more sizes.

    My Grainger valves can be ordered any size - I bought the 3/8 size which also take 3/8 NPT fittings for -6 tube or push-on for 3/8 hose. You can get cheaper brass valves from them - I just liked the chrome and spent a few more bucks.

    I really like what this guy is doing on the project. I just can't swallow the loads impressed on the crank shaft with his choice of materials for it. I have spoke with him a few times.....he is convinced the crank is fine. Me.....not so much. I have run all kinds of static and dynamic numbers and it just doesn't look good on the crank after a few million cycles. There is a lot of things trying to twist the crank apart.

    I think I will be getting with Scott Casler for a stroker 2 cylinder. James Wiebe seems to get along well with on. Here is the link.....nice guy and very knowledgeable.

    I've been building the turtledeck using aluminum for the sides and a sheet of .090 lexan for the top and I'm wondering how much reinforcement It needs. I saw a couple pics way back that showed a single post with a flat pad on top that butted against the t-deck at the center but I cant find them now.

     

    I'm curious if that had a camlock on it and if just that center support was enough that it wasnt bouncing around.

     

    My t-deck is about 3" taller than stock at the rear carry through.

    Trying to decide the best way to store my bird for 6 months while I'm off in the sandbox. Obviously the ethanol is coming out. I'm thinking a gallon or two of Avgas in each tank is better than leaving them dry. Should I pickle the motor too? Never done it... not even sure how but I'm thinking 6 mos in a dry climate it'll prob be fine. Looking for suggestions if you guys have them. Poor ol girl  :fishing:
