Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Jack Phillips"
Looking for ides on how the cover up the holes as the cable go thru the fabricon the fusalage. Im thinking leather patches would be easiest and clean, but howdo you attach them? i assume glue, but what kind. Ive seen some sewn on, buthow do you get to the inside of the fuse ? Pictures/ideas appreciated.--------NX321LRON THE FINAL PUSH!!Mitsubishi PoweredRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/piet ... __________

Chris, I used aluminum reinforcement with fabric patches for my cable exit holes,but for the leather patches protecting the stabilizer leading edges from thechafing of the elevator cables, I just glued the leather on withPoly-Fiber's "Poly-Tak" glue. It sticks to fabric very well.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Cable exit fairings/patches?Chris-- I used Rich Corinthian fake naugahyde vinyl and followed the instructions on a can of contact cementand it worked well. After about 10 years of flying the edges of the patches started to pull up. I suppose oil, slipstream,and the elements helped that along. Mike C.PS-- for where the aileron cables exit the wing I simply cut a tiny + at those points and they haven't frayed or opened upat all. Very pleased with how that worked out. Thank you Bill Klosz...again. ________________________________________________________________________________

Stewart Systems DVDs show an interesting and good way or doing this and you don't have to buy much (except the DVD). I tried to copy it and attach it to this E-mail but can't do it. Chuck----- Original Message -----

Deerskin patches glued on with Gorilla Glue, and coated with leather oil. Ihad to remove a couple for my wing repair and they were securely fastenedwith the glue.Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----
