If you have a suspected area you can buy Dye Penetrate in a bottle and brush it on. Does a great job. We get ours from Aircraft Spruce but I'll bet you can get it at NAPA. If you have trouble finding it let me Know we are deals with Spruce and get a decent discount and I will send you a bottle.

Buy a new one if you can. There are only certain numbers on the old ones that can be used. When I had to do this many years ago, the only ones I could find were the bad ones. In fact, the case that cracked, turned out to be one of the bad ones. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on

Unless you want the rather considerable expense of thorough non-destructive testing ~ ~ ~ such as dye-penetrant and Magna-Flux, maybe even X-ray &/or ultra-sound ~ ~ ~ unless you really think you need any or all of those procedures, there is a rationale to re-building a used case.

Has anyone had any experience rebuilding a VW with a used case? Have you had any issues with it? Did you line bore it? Or am I better off with a new case? Fred Johnson Reno, NV

Your collection of Clouds and Sunsets is "PRICELESS". This one is really neat in the way that the bad weather meets the good. I am sure glad you had a way out of that one. Can't wait to get my Corvair installed, so I can fly at those altitudes. How long can you fly that high, without suffering

Did not see the pics on zoomshare. There are issues with Lexan, but in this case, I don't think they are critical, so I will let y'all find out for yourself. Or you can check out: http://krbuilder.org/CrazyCanopy/index.html See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you
