has anyone tried the half acetone half auto trans fluid home brew on those rustycylinders yet? it supposedly is as good or better than the penetrating oils.I never mixed the stuff up but it wouldn't cost a whole lot to have quite a bitof fluid to fill some cylinders.might be a place for it to be tried.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:30:30 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Sticker

Tom - I'm pretty sure I built the gear per the plans and put the big tires on anyway.Out of all the gear problems I've had, that angle hasn't been an issue.Agree with Skip, no toe-in or toe-out. If you do err towards toe-out as Skipsays, you'll need really good springs/bungees to keep the gear from tryingto do the splits every time you roll forward. Again, straight as you can getthem.Split Axel Kevin--------Kevin PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Got an engine!
