I did make hubs. They are also stock, except that they were machined to receive the new bearings.GarySent from my iPhoneOn Feb 11, 2013, at 10:33 AM, Jim Boyer wrote:> Gary did you make the hubs for your wheels?> > Jim> > > > > > ============================================================================================================================================> ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Steam pipe

Hey guys....I haven't flown yet.. but lots of ground runs.I was told that i probably needed to add a "steam" pipe the the front of the headon my A engine and i agree..So i drilled and tapped a 1/4 pipe thread on top as far forward as i could.I was going to put 1/4 by -6 AN 45 in the head... so that would be a 3/8 line upto the top hose..Does that sound like a big enough line ?thanks a millionjeff faithRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Steam pipe

It is just a steam relief line to prevent a bubble from forming up there, so sizedoesn't matter.
