After nearly a year of studying plans, moving house,studying plans, building workshop, studying plans........I have finally made a start.Thought I had better start with a couple of the smaller parts,so have made up the tail fin and rudder and have bought a set of Vi Kaplers alloy hinges to fit.The problem is, having measured the bolt holes I find they appear to be 4mm or 5/32" diameter.Can anyone tell me where to buy suitable bolts for these hinges, (preferably AN)RodWestern Australia________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: BPA Newsletter Reprints

04/19/2001 07:34:41 AMFor all who sent me checks for Newsletter reprints:Thanks to all for the patience. I mailed all the reprints on Monday.I made a mistake in counting the pages and undercounted. I made upfor it by sending everything bookrate instead of priority mail. So, Iguess you shouldn't start looking to your mailboxes for a week or so.I made an exception with copies to Alaska and Quebec which wentairmail.I'm still waiting on checks for a couple of copies and I haven'tgotten the EAA copy off yet, but that just about wraps it up.Mike BellPietenpol under construction in the Gaston Airplane Factory (one sideof my garage)Gaston, SC________________________________________________________________________________

The dia of this size screw is .164". No need for them to be AN. Hardware store machine screws are fine. Aircraft Spruce is a good souce for these screws in AN as you asked. Do you have a Spruce catalog? I Have a bunch of these screws in non AN which is what I use on all my planes. If you want some, I will send them to you.

Mike,My set arrived in the mail today -- not bad for a 1500 mile x-crosscountry -- probably faster than a Piet pretending to be a Mailplane! ;-)Mike ConklingPretty Prairie, KS----- Original Message -----
