Pietenpol-List: bungee chafing

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Greg Cardinal"
Greg's suggestion of leather to protect the bungees is spot on. Anotherthing I've done under the anti-chafe stuff (leather/rubber sheet, whatever)is to take some tapered faucet washers and hog out the hole so it's afriction fit around a bolt head, then glue them onto all the bolt heads thatcould possibly touch a bungee or wear the anti-chafe wrap. Eliminates thebolt edges which do the damage.Almost couldn't touch the Piet for the last six months due to work loads,but it now looks like I can get back onto my daily schedule. I've got topush hard to get her done here soon, I love building, but I'm really, reallyready to fly!Happy new years to all!!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
