I was looking at the reassembly portion of the carb overhaul manual, and it refers to shellacking. Doesanyone know of a modern alternative or if off the shelf shellac from Lowes will work?Dave, let me know when you hear from Mike if hewants the seat or not. He might be stuck in the hangarwithout a computer.Curt MerdanFlower Mound, TXfrom the Stromberg overhaul manual:REASSEMBLY: All headless screw plugsbelow the fuel level should be assembled withshellac, being careful not to get it on the end ofthe plug where it will come off and be carried bythe fuel into one of the metering orifices. Head-less screw plugs above the fuel level and all otherthreaded parts screwed into the bodies shouldhave a compound of graphite and castor oil puton the threads.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Visit to John McPherson

Ready to mount my control assembly. Considering the angle the aileroncables pass through the slot in the panel base up to the center sectionpulleys. I'm just guessing my wing will be 4 inches aft of perpendicular.(Is this average for a long fuselage, C-85, split gear, heavier than averagetail) Can someone help with the calculation of how far the aileron controlhorn needs to be forward of the slot in the panel base? Assuming a rise ofapproximately 46" (horn to slot 22" and slot to c-section 24") and wing aft4" equals having the horn 4" forward the slot?? Not sure I have that muchroom.Thanks!!JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Visit to John McPherson
