With today's modern fabric coverings with inspection plates and rings, is thispiece of plywood no longer needed?

I found this explanation from another site that explains it well:You can fly without an ELT if you have a single seat airplane or if you stay within50 miles of where the aircraft is based. You're legal if you install a 121.5ELT. The issue is that the satellites are not monitoring that freq, so your121.5 ELT doesn't have the utility it once did. You are then relying on otheraircraft to hear your ELT and/or the CAP cadets to find you.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Obsolete Part?

Jack,You're going to have better luck determining off site whether a cap will fit ifyou describe the threads in terms of threads per inch. Just put a ruler up toit and count them in an inch and specify the outside diameter.Can't remember if you count the first and last threads or not, so count the threadson a 1/4-20 bolt (or other known quantity) to get the procedure.Making one isn't really difficult should one not be available. Do you have a secondstub the same as that one? Using it as a gage while machining would ensurea good fit.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
