Rick,It appears we are at a similar phase. I too, have just completed my nose bowland have been fitting cardboard patterns to it the last few sessions in the hanger.I built in flanges on my sheet steel firewall, so I will try to use thatas my attachment system. I may have to add the angle tabs as backups. I amnot satisfied with my placement of the intake on the nose bowl so I am consideringa mod that will use a framed opening to cover the one I molded in. Purelyand aesthetic thing. I am attaching a couple of images that show my work todate. Also an image that shows my intended change to the intake. I plan tomake the intake functional, but will need to route the flow back to the carbvia a scat tube arrangement TBD. I was fortunate to be able to stop off at Han'shome and discuss his build. I am also attaching an image I took while there...I'm sure Hans won't mind. Feel free to contact me off line if you wouldlike to expand on any facet of this subject and I will do the same. I wouldlike to see pics of your progress... thanks in advance.--------Robert CaldwellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc0 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Oil Temp & Pressure Gages
Pietenpol-List: Oil Temp & Pressure Gages

Guys,I'm collecting stuff for my engine, and I would like input on the type of gagesto add for Oil Temp & Pressure. I've seen many panels using the tubing typegages, but not many (or any?) using electrical gages with senders. Since I willhave a full electrical system, I can use either. There have heard some horrorstories about having a leak in the cockpit, and that's one concern with thetubing type, and maybe the weight factor is something else to consider...Not sure which to go for... So, let your voices be heard. What are the experiencesya'll have had with gages?--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Oil Temp & Pressure Gages
