Jack;My J-3 guru says that the stock Cub setup is for a quarter-turn locking cap, notthreaded. You have some kind of hermaphrodite tank with a threaded neck, orelse it was used in something else that required a neck extension to get thecap up to the cowl (the more likely possibility).FWIW, my cheapie tap & die set has a little feeler-gauge type thing where eachblade has teeth cut into it with its corresponding thread pitch. You just putthe teeth of each blade up to your threaded part till you find one that fits,then read the thread pitch off the blade and voila. At any rate, you may needto fabricate something that threads onto your tank neck. Quarter-turn fillernecks and caps are easy to come by... I got one from Summit Racing to buildthe aluminum smoke oil tank that I have for Scout (still not installed). It usesa spring-loaded and gasketed radiator type cap on it. They sell all the partsneeded to fabricate your own fuel or oil tank and there are several fillernecks and caps available. Or, you can cut the threaded part off your neck andweld on a new piece that has the quarter-turn lock on the top end.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Last Flight

Hi Gang,We use Spidertracks at work in our single engine cessna 180s. They work similairto SPOT, but are aviation dedicated, Where SPOT is being marketed to hiker,hunters and aviation. It depends what you are willing to pay, they have a feature that will automaticallysend the S&R if the unit sense lose of power and stops moving. It is notg-activated, like an ELT, but should provide similar protection, this featureis by subscription only. Basic service is just like SPOT, it leaves a breadcrumb trail every two minutesand with loss of power/accident should get the CAP close, but will not call outthe troops if you do not press the emergency button. We have added this toour emegrncy checklist.LukeRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Last Flight
