 Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 8:57 am Post subject: O200 Vacuum Pump cover |
 |
|
I have an O200 with a vacuum pump. I don't plan to use any vacuum gauges so I want to take it off to save weight. Is there a plate or cover that I could get to seal off the engine. Also are there any gears or whatever that need to be removed when the pump is taken off?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Yes, there is an OFFICIAL plate but since you are experminental you could make your own. I would use 0.125" aluminum 6061 or 7075 with a gasket. And since you are sealing it almost permanently use a slight smear of Hi Temp RTV.
NO - There aren't any gears to remove.

Thanks Barry. I got lots of 0.125 and will fabricate me up one of the plates.
