KR> Canopy/Seat
Joe, RR was Rand Robinson at the time. Now NVAero is the KR source for parts. Not sure if they sell this sling seat part. Check their web site. The sling seat is very comfortable and lightweight for 2 people. The foam is available from Wicks Supply. Just search under "seat foam" It's a bit expensive but well worth it.

KR> Antennas
On Oct 2, 2015, at 20:19, T. W. Norman via KRnet wrote: Trevor; I mounted my comm/nav antenna just under the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer. The antenna consists of a straight piece of 1/16 copper rod pushed up through the foam. The ground plane is some aluminum tape attached to the turtle deck cowling just below the antenna connection at the bottom of the vertical stab. My transponder antenna is mounted on the bottom of the fuselage directly behind the seat and bolted through a 16 inch square sheet of thin aluminum glued to the floor of the fuselage. I have an Icom A-20 comm/nav and a Narco ATI50 transponder. Everything seems to work just fine.

KR> Canopy/Seat
I pulled out my beatifully apolstered seat with its plush thick comfortable cusion. ?I put a plywood board down as the seat and I have plenty of head and leg room. ? I welcome you in joining me as I say goodbye to my beautiful cusion and hello to something more functional. In my minimax I use one of those memory foam pillows to sit on.? ?What do you use?

KR> permanent magnet alternator isolation relay
Folks Here?s an example photo of a relay used to isolate the AC output on the permanent magnet alternator. It is a ?circuit breaker? if you like but driven by excess voltage not current. The black goes to earth, the yellow provides the trigger signal from the overvoltage device and the two blue wires I think come from the AC output. I think but am not sure are ?crowbared? or shorted together thus effectively shutting down the output to elsewhere but alternatively the relay might just break the circuit. I?ve forgotten where I found this but it is possibly from an older Bob Nuckolls site. Trust it is not too confusing.

KR> Electrical System
Gday Mark Yep, I tried a similar system (refer photos) for the alternator some years ago. These are parts from a Harley. I have a similar battery diode system on my Land Cruiser for when I go bush. Very hard to turn over a large diesel by hand and always good to have power to run the HF radio in case of emergency (and the beer fridge).

KR> Matco Brakes
I have a question on fitting a set of Matco brakes.. ?Once they are installed Matco wants you to measure the distance between the brake plate adapter and the caliper housing? ?Max 0.125 and min .05 inches using new pads. Then they tell you to "adjust the length by moving the brake plate inboard or outboard as needed".. ?NO mention of what to use/where for spacing? ?There are 4 screws holding the brake plate to the axle. ?I don't know whether to put "washers" on the 4 screws or whether it needs a full size plate between the brake plate and the axle plate? ?Plus, the screws are really small and SHORT.. When installing the wheel on the axle, there is a spacer installed on the axle first, then the wheel slides on the axle.. ?Once this is done, you can screw the brake disc onto the wheel hub. ?The problem I'm having is I can't tell whether the wheel bearing is bottoming out on the spacer or the non-movable ?brake pad is hitting the front face of the brake disc?? ?There is no way to see inside to tell which is making contact first?? ?Their instructions don't make sense, at least to me?? I'm going to try and attach a couple of pictures of the brake unit off the axle. ?The disc with the screws poking out is the mounting plate they want me to "space" in or out to get the .125 or .05.. ?The second pic is the side view showing the space they want you to measure.. ?Right now that space is almost .250" from the brake housing to the spacer.. I hope the pics make sense!! Thanks, Ron -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
