We filled the gap to where we have 1/8/ inch gap.Is that enough or do we need to seal it completely, if so what is the best way. We ordered new bolts for the cabanes and wings and as soon as they arrive we can install the center section and wings. Getting closer to final assembly.

Jack used duct tape. I've got blue painters tape (still). Some strips of leather, pleather, or naugahyde rubber cemented in place will do the trick. And yes, seal 'em tight - it makes a world of difference.Dan-- Dan Yocumyocum137(at)gmail.com"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."On May 16, 2012, at 6:24 PM, "Bob edson" wrote:> We filled the gap to where we have 1/8/ inch gap.Is that enough or do we need to seal it completely, if so what is the best way.

Shad, While doing the major on my Lycoming O-235 I disassembled the MA-3 carburetorand put the black composite float and the rubber tipped needle in gas. I testedto be sure it had ethanol. They were submerged in a sealed quart jar for about9 months with no degrading. So I will not get heartburn over putting some ethanollaced gas in my Piet. Also for you guys building, ACS and MAC's Antique Auto Parts has a float unaffectedby ethanol. I bought mine from Mac's.A9312FLM Model A Ford Gas Gauge Float - Modern Neoprene Item Subtotal: $4.15 Estimated Shipping: $7.00 Minimum Order Fee: $2.00 Order Total: $13.15--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009thru covering and painting, now in final assembly21" wheelsLycoming O-235 C2CJay Anderson CloudCars prop 76 X 44Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
