Dimona electric fuel pumps are at http://www.hardi.de/verge.htm

U/C rod ends are Hirschman.  Not sure, but I imagine the elevator rod ends 
would be Hirschman also. The main tailplane rod-end is a custom made Hirschman

This is Gascolator fitted to Dimona XOO with a drain outside - it is mounted 
just forward of the battery.  Does anybody else dimona have this? I really do 
not like the inline fuel filter our dimona has.  In my opinion this is the only 
safe way to go esp when using PULP 98 fuel as one day you will get crap fuel 
from a service station.


We once had crap fuel soon after the tank at S/s had been topped up and this 
stirred up all the crap and we got a dose of it - must admit that was 15 years 
ago.
I guess an EO or SB is needed to fit same but in my opinion there should be a 
rule if you increase safety significantly then an EO is not needed.  When we 
did Jabiru install in a Falke Dafydd L insisted we must have Gascolator, a sump 
added to tank + a finger filter in the tank where fuel is drawn from. He has 
had experience with crapy car fuel from the good old days   


Second att is a NACA air inlet as well as ball vent on the inside.  It is 
brilliant compared to the sort of NACA duct  on top of cowl in a low pressure 
area.  Basically thi ones is same as in HK36 except it goes direct into cockpit 
and works better than HK36 NACA is correct shape in line with air flow and has 
top of wing profile to suck the air into the NACA.  It is a Vans NACA.  I 
thought I best test to see if gases were coming it on the RH side so used a 
multigas tester and highest was 8PPM CO which is all but zero
