Mario;Attached are some photos that might help. At the magneto, I grounded the braidedwire shield and then I used a rubber boot to cover the P-lead lug.

Agree about free is free and not liking reading shop books as ebooks, but at least the free version at faa.gov has high-quality illustrations. My much abused copy in the hangar can no longer make that claim=85BTW, I was able to find the table for generic torque values based on bolt/thread size, but that's for steel. Would those hold true for the materials used for airspeed indicator hardware? I am not sure. Being lazy physically and mentally, I just hand-tightened mine (7 years and many hours ago), but then, my nickname at the field is "Captain Torque". I break things worse than Baby Hughey.--Jeffrey H.

So let's think about the application. Air stagnation (ram air) pressure at 160MPH is about a half a psi.

Builders,We are now just 10 days away from Corvair College #29 in Leesburg FL., Followedthe SnF, (where I will be there just to give some forums, hang out a the Zenithbooth and go see Dick and the gang at the woodshop). From this point forward,we are in the busiest 120 days of the year leading to Brodhead and Oshkosh.It is a long stream of 12 hour days in the hangar. Productive work, especiallyon planes, is not punishment to me, I like it. But to do it day after day effectivelyrequires getting into a groove, and to do this I spend a lot less timeon the net, just covering our websites and email.In the past 6 years I spent a total of 10 days at Brodhead, and less than 10 hoursreading this list, yet I know a bit about most of the people who write in,even the ones not using a Corvair. I have two people specifically to than forthis connection, Doc and Dee Mosher. In the six years the covered the newsletter,I devoured each issue, reading every bit of each one many times. The wallsof our home are lined in bookshelves, but the back issues of the BPAN live inan honored and accessible place on coffee table. Contrast this with the factlet my EAA membership lapse for 2 years without noticing, because I have notbothered to even look at an issue of Sport Aviation in years.Doc and Dee are the glue that gave many of us a strong connection to Pietenpolsand each other. Words are failing me to explain how strongly I feel about that.In the 1990s, the newsletter didn't make me feel that way. I loved the planeI was building but the newsletter of that era had nothing technical in it, wasjudgmental of non-Ford builders, and portrayed Brodhead as a place to buy aBrat a look at old cars. My world view was shifted by chance when a Piet Guynamed Randy Bruce stopped by my house in Daytona beach, to drop of a stack of100 photos of Brodhead 1991. This was a clean cut guy in his 60's who only flewContinentals, going out of his way to make a 28 year old guy with long hairand a Corvair project feel included. Take that single act of generous spirit away,and my world would have been diminished to accepting a negative man's viewof who was welcome to appreciate Bernard's legacy. Every time I have read Docand Dee's work, I have thought about how their inclusive, pro-people stancehas welcomed in countless people just as Randy Bruce's visit to my home did.It is hard to find words to express the depth of my gratitude for this.--------------------------------------------It may seem as if I have written a lot here in the last weeks, but I ask your indulgenceand understanding it is all based on enthusiasm for people, buildingand ideas. I have spent many hours each night in the last weeks reading the listarchives to learn more about people's planes and perspectives. Time well spent.Flying season is back in full swing down here, and the start of each spring makesme feel this way. If you are up North and haven't been to the airport in months,go there on the next clear day and just stand by the side of the runwayalone for 30 minutes and think of all the places you can go and visit this season,all connected by nothing more than thin air. Open your hand and swing yourarm, it offers little resistance and no support, yet in your shop you are creatinga magic device that will allow you to move at will through a sky full ofnothing but thin air.-------------------------------------------------I hope to see as many of you as possible at Brodhead and Oshkosh. All you guysplanning the "85th" into Oshkosh, please keep me in the loop. You can count onmy full assistance no matter what you guys cook up. You can email me direct atWilliamTCA@aol,com or just call the shop line 904-529-0006. If you guys haveCorvair or W&B questions, send them, we will cover it.
