Pietenpol-List: Re: Horns Redone

For information, incase those w/Cont engines are interested:I've been looking to replace my oil temp & pressure gauges in the GN-1, as theoil temp gauge I have was never the correct range scale, and my pressure gaugeis cracked and dinged up. I was never quite satisfied w/my searches. I came closeto what I'd like w/Stewart Warner gauges, but still no joy. I preferred the270 deg sweep of the older antique gauges with no label clutter (basic labeling).I began to think none were out there until I was walking around an oldWW2 museum north of Luxembourg in Diekirch. I looked at the panel in the old Jeepsand "bingo!".. they appear to be the perfect range scale for Continentals.You can get them at any Jeep restorer's website. standard 2" mechanical gauges...LarryRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Horns Redone

Doug,First, I am sorry to hear this. I guess it's a point in our lives that we reach at some point.I am interested in all, and can pick up by this weekend.

Gary, I corresponded with a guy who put a Corvair in a Boredom Fighter. He says it's fine but you have to fly it every minute. He said that the engine had to practically butt against the firewall for it to be in balance. I really wanted to build the Boredom Fighter but had already bought the Piet plans so decided on the Piet. Chuck ----- Original Message -----
