Hi Les or anyone else. Does anyone know if the new Van's intersection
fairing still require layups to be added to them? Or are they ready to
install, like the aftermarket ones?

They put cell towers right on the airport here. No trouble at all with
reception in the hangar. The airport gets a great amount of money for
their general fund, too. Wink

Interesting at the various methods used. I found that a simple plastic
container, like an old butter container, fit perfectly to catch the oil
from the oil filter. It fits nicely on top of the fue ...

I am surprised to see this crack on the Bogert Bar. It has been lightly
used but 5 years old now. Anybody see something similar?

Might as well reinforce the bottom now to prevent the filter from
wearing thru the fiberglass as well.

I actually prefer to have my door operate this way. IE, stock, the door
will start to close on its own about 2 feet away from closing. With 2 ft
to go, it can still build up a good bit of momentum ...

I would add the 2 from Vans as well.

Not sure on the specifics on the 500N one. The 600N "HD" version is
Stabilus, Lift-O-Mat part number 2218LP.

I have installed the Vans versions r ...

I mentioned this same issue earlier. I need to contact Bansbach still. Anyway, the issue of "too strong" a strut would be a non-issue if it was damped upon fully open.

Haha. I think there is a very good reason why cars do not use gull
doors. They could never figure out the right gas struts to use either.
Delorean and now the Tesla Model X, i guess?!?!
