----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- This business of refurbishing airplanes is a real
up and down
affair (pun intended).
No sooner do I find upon dismantling my engine that
the parts are
in better shape than expected, I am stripping my
engine mount
and I notice one of the tubes is bent.
Those who have been following this thread will
remember
that the plane was put into a gopher hole in the
late 60's and
repairs made at that time. Those repairs already
caused me to
question the skills of the mechanic who did it
since there is a crack
in the weld on the lower nose gear tube where it
attaches to the mount.
Now I realize that although they replaced one tube,
they must have just
hammered the other back into place.
I have a certified shop here that can handle the
repairs at $$$$$ but I
was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar
experience and
can lend any advice.
