I don't know if anybody is needing a set but there is a set of BC12D struts I believeit said they are on Ebay aircraft parts list right now.I do not know thatthey are suitable for use to make Piet struts but I would sure check it outif I didn't already have mine made./on another note if anybody has any experiencehooking up a Datcon tachometer I'd sure appreciate a e-mail off list. I'mhaving some trouble figuring out how to program mine. RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Are you talking about the cowling? Those are Cleco's, holding the piecestogether until I could rivet them. Everything on the cowling is rivetedtogether.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

I have been using just such a gauge now for 5 years and I find it to be quite satisfactory. I would however suggest using a small tube in the gas cap to keep the rod from leaning over as mine does all the time.Someday I'm going to change that and fix it. I did measure and paint the end of the rod white to indicate when I am running low on fuel. I gave myself a few extra gallons before total empty. just to be on the safe side.You may want more.Just paint lower for more fuel at the end.
