Pietenpol-List: Flexible carb runner couplings

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "John McNarry"
I am in the process of doing the final mounting of the carb (Strombergupflow) and was wondering if anyone had a source of 1 1/4 inch ODcoupling material . I looked at the neoprene in the local hardwarestore that the plumbers use to connect two lines using the hoseclamps. Ideal, but too big a hole. Any thoughts?-=Ian=-Where the snow is deep and getting deeper and the temperature is goingto minus 36C tonight.________________________________________________________________________________

DJI for one, as a GN-1 builder with a set of Pietenpol plans for backup thinkthat this list serves us well. Been following it since Steve Eldrige startedit from Grant MaClaren's BPA site. Learned lots!I think my GN-1 is reverting back closer to a Piet.John McHey Larry,What do you suggest the GN-1 builders do?? Start their own list?? Imbuilding a GN-1 and seems like I always have a question or two. I post itto this list because both aircraft share amazing similarities. It alsoseems like a few guys here have built both Piets and GN-1s. While I agreethat there should not be any my dad can beat up your dad GN-1 is bettertype posts, I hope you and other die hard Pieters can also agree that forall intents and purposes the GN-1 and Piet share enough similarities that wecan both live here together. Ive already learned a couple good tips fromPiet builders.DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1 Builderwww.raptoronline.comN74DV-----Original Message-----
