I love experimentals

When I built my new fuel caps 5 years ago I followed the Avid AD and made them 6" tall. They were bent by hand and not too pretty. This AD was to make it so that if you had a lot of fuel in the tanks when you folded them it wouldn't run out of the vents. This of course would only work if your caps sealed perfectly which I haven't seen one yet that did. In Dec I had to replace my furnace after throwing a bunch of parts at my old one. While the workers were installing the new one I raped a bunch of parts off the old one. The pilot light line was the same tubing with two perfect 90 degree bends in it. I immediately spotted a new use for that line

Well the new furnace was about $3400 bucks!

Probably still cheaper than certified caps.  Leni was bemoaning the cost of certified parts for his C180; talk about a choke.

Get a tube bender, a few caps, and start "Joey's Custom Caps" with your retirement pay.

Looks Good.

"I love" penny-tech solutions. Nice job with the recycling of what would have been otherwise in the scrap pile
