KR> Wing Attach Fitting questions
If you have mismatched hole locations between the WAFs and the spar, first determine if the wing fittings were actually drilled wrong. If the hole diameters are within limits and fit the bolts without play, setback of hole from the edge of the WAF is adequate, and they match one spar, either the center section or the outer panels, you could glue tight-fitting dowels into the unmatched spar's fitting holes and carefully re-drill new fitting holes which match the WAF hole locations. Clamping pressure is not considered when engineering this type of bolted joint, it's the shaft of the bolt in shear in this case which bears the loads.

KR> KR 2 Parts
Hi Steve, I am in Europe but I am keen to "fast build" a KR2S. Are the parts usable? Do you have any idea about cost to send it to Europe? Are you willing to do it?

KR> VW engines
I've been looking for pictures and a writeup on a beautiful KR with a Type 4 that was built by a Florida medical guy. As I recall, it won some awards at Sun 'n' Fun and may have won a 'Best Engine' at a KR Gathering. I believe the builder sold it and he may have died since then too, but I may also be getting my stories mixed up. Anyway, studying pictures of that firewall forward would be informative.

KR> Wing Attach Fitting questions
Ok... Since some folks here have a much better understanding of the 'design' behind the WAFs than I do... I'm not an engineer, and I don't want to die... So further experience would probably help Some questions: 1) What is the key force or mechanisim providing strength to the WAF joint? Is it the clamping pressure imparted by the bolts? The shaft of the bolt itself? 2) Is there a preferred method to 'adjust' a set of wing fittings that were drilled wrong? Would welding up the hole & re-drilling work? Bushings? Just make a new set? Any other info would be useful. I'm trying to mate wings from another KR, that I bought, to mine...
KR> Manifold vacuum
It was a very long time ago. The engine was a Type 1 VW, and the carb was probably a POSA. If there was any mixture control, it had to be manual.

I have that smooth 6 cylinder Corvair with Ellison and everything else, including the prop. For Sale. Built by Roy with his front bearing.
