REFLECTOR: Of door seals and two bars

[Terry Miles]

Hi,

I know it must be somewhere in the archives.  I’m not good at that.  Dave
Scharenberg, hey, don’t you have pics of your solution for a tow bar?    
or
anybody else?

 

I can’t find what I saved the last time that topic came around.  

 

I have the XLRG, and I considering drilling ¼ holes in the fork, smack in
the middle fore/aft and up/down.  That would be my female aperture, and I
would then make the tow bar with ¼ steel rod and some kind of articulation
to go into the holes drilled in the side of the folks.  I fear with time
(push/pull/twist) that I would beat the crap out of my ¼ inch hole and maybe
elongate it or worse introduce stress cracks in the fork material..  

 

Could I please ask what others have done on this?

 

New topic:  Door seals, and sealing out the rain.  What’s the magic there?
I see that it is easy to have the u-form of the door seal spread open on
you.  Also it’s easy not to get a shoved all the way in the corner door
corners.  When I pour a glass of water along the top edge of the door,  I
now think the water is going up over the top of seal rather than leaking
thru it which was my first guess.  I think I have a gap between the top of
my door outboard of the dee-tube and the sealed fuselage flange where the
seal is.   

 

I am a willing listener!  

 

Thanks,

Terrys
