 |
|
I’m having great difficulty getting the stainless steel firewall to fit between the LG frame and the rudder-pedal transverse shaft at the starboard side where there are 2 layers of stainless in a very tight gap.
Does anyone have any clever ideas for persuading the SS into the required shape & position?
I have a note that Bill Bell was doing a mod to solve this but I can’t see a completed mod anywhere on the LAA Engineering mod web-pages. If Bill is out there, please let me know the status of that mod application, and any pictures/drawings that would help me understand it.

Hi Rowland
I am copying Bill Bell's firewall mod but it is only suitable for the TriGear.
It places the firewall aft of the landing gear mounting frame LG01 and against a dummy bulkhead placed in the TriGear tunnel. See factory Tech Tips No24 on the Europa Club website for the bulkhead details.
Thin stainless steel and a ceramic fibre are used to make a lining against the bulkhead and the tunnel sides forward of the new bulkhead.
I believe you are building a Mono so this mod will not help.

Kelv - thanks, that’s rather what I had feared.

Rowland,
As Kelvin has already answered better than I can, I'm afraid it is a mod for the Trigear.
Like you I cannot find it on the LAA website for some reason but it is on the Europa website as mod 12978 Alternate Trigear Firewall;
https://www.theeuropaclub.org/building/europa-mods-and-sbs/useful-mods-repeat-and-all-of-type
I haven't actually been able to double check that it is all there because there is a glitch with my Europa club membership and the website won't let me in at the moment....
Regards
Bill

Hi Rowland
I used some shoe-box thickness cardboard to make a template and then cut undersized till you get a nice fit. Be careful if you take blood thinners when you are working with thin stainless, nope: make that be careful even if you are not on blood thinners when working with thin stainless! You can have a look at how I am trying to seal the hole for rudder horns here: http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=27732 starting at pic IM001826
