Folks, forgive me for making my offer, but it worked well on my C-16 now almost 5 years old, and my K-27. Both had silver colored steel wound plastic gas tubing. I disliked the obvious appearance which stood out like the proverbial sore thumb. So I treated it as I did some of my battery on board electric models. I took a can of automotive mat black paint and sprayed the tubing black. The result is they are still black. I degreased with locktite degreaser thoroughly prior to spraying, expensive but it seems effective. I did the same with electric cables which now look like they "belong". One other small advantage is the steel wound tubing does not tend to kink with the years, Well, not so far. I have no problems with reduced gas flow, which I have heard of from more illustrious models without the wound tubes (pipes)? No guarantee with this because I'm not sure if the plastic is similar but I suspect it may be because natural gasses usually play havoc with "normal" rubber - Plastic tubing.
I hear with regret of the bad news from Diamondhead. Weather permitting I will be running at the ten year event at Sinsheim 13th, 14th, 15th Jan. Its a pity we cant drain the Atlantic for a couple of weeks. It would be great to meet some of you who are in the main names around which I have built my own characters based on the exchange of mails. (Naturally ones you would be proud of)!! That's my two penneth again for what its worth. Have a good one Bert, Snowed in, in the Austrian alps. ------------------------- Bert & Edmunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html
