I'm planning to go to Lee Bottom too, and would like to commune with other Piet builders.- I have just finished covering and painting my one-piece wing this summer in Columbus, IN, just north of Lee Bottom.- Look forward to seeing some Pietenpols.---- Larry Morlock=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Related question- muffler hold-on nutsDate: Sat, 18 Sep 2010 20:52:29 -0400

if its a Continental=2C it might well be 28 threads=2C Continentals use fine thread exhause studs=2C Lycomings use a coarse thread. Brass nuts usualy hold fine without backing off=2C first I would suggest using new nuts=2C the problem is most likely that they are old and not holding anymore. A little locktite would not hurt=2C or you could use a split locknut. Some of the newer=2C large continentals use a locknut on the exhause =2C but I think they are something like 1/4" studs.GeneDate: Sat=2C 18 Sep 2010 21:47:07 -0400
