REFLECTOR: RG MG aluminum bushings

[Brooke Wolf]

Yep.....it helps a lot Ken.  Thanks.  If I do as you say it looks as if the lay-up will butt up right next to the 5X5 for the Continental mounts.  Also thanks for the tip on the resin drain.  I see a couple of my multiple triax lay-ups are a little lighter on top than on the bottom.  Should I be concerned?

Thanks

Brooke

      If you cut a little bit off the corner of the Triax layup, you will be able to get the layup just above the wiring duct hole and Not onto the cowl flange. It puts the gear bolt hole approximately 2 inches inboard and 2 above the bottom edge of the layup. Most of this Triax is just laid onto the firewall. The engine mounts from Velocity mount on this layup later. If that helps at all?  Remember to wet out the Triax and wait a hour or 2 before installing otherwise the resin drains out while it is curing.

    The manual says to put a double layer of 4X7 trial over the aft firewall bushing with the 7" in dimension horizontal.  Well.......I can't see how this can be done.  The tunnel opening as well as the cowl flange interfere with this arrangement.  

    Go out and look at your airplanes!!  (any insight would be appreciated)......Thanks    Brooke
