Don't see why it wouldn't. Looks fine to me.

I thought that I read on this forum that some give erroneous pressures because they project too far out. Although I could not find the conversation in the archives.
Do not archive.

I believe that Tim has a write up on his site. If I recall, too flat was the issue. I'm at the hangar with out a good Internet connection to validate my memory.

Yep - too flat is the problem.
I used a couple of 3/16” AN470 rivets with a 1/16” hole drilled through the
head and the rivet shank. I made a 5/8" diameter x 1/4" thick aluminum ring
(disc with a 3/16" hole drill in the center) as a backing plate to the
rivet. Epoxy the rivet and backing ring to the inside skin. Once set glue
on the ¼” static line over the rivet shank. No fittings required or
desired.
This solved the static error I had on the 8A (I was using a first generation
Cleaveland port), and on the 10 works perfectly as well.
Get a dozen or so of the rivets as it takes a couple of tries to get the
hole drill right in the center of the shank. You want a rivet shank an inch
or so long.

That sounds good Carl, after you bond the backing plate & rivet to the inside did you simply match drill the sixteenth hole through the skin so the static vent is effectively from the outside just the hole with no projection at all that could give those erroneous pressure/readings?

Sorry - I didn't explain well. The round rivet head sits on the outside of
the skin (3/16" hole in the skin). The 1" diameter, 1/4" thick backing
plate (with a 3/16" hole in the middle) is epoxied over the rivet shank to
the inside of the skin. The protruding rivet head moves the static port
just a little out of the skin flow layer - this is what helps mitigate
against static port error. The backing plate just adds some rigidity to the
install and more glue area for the rivet. This provides a sturdy connection
to the 1/4" static tubing. The 3/16" rivet shack is a perfect fit for 1/4"
tubing to slide over.
I did final paint over the rivet heads with a toothpick in the 1/16" holes
to keep them open.

I used the Safeair static ports, which I purchased from Avery Tools, and have zero error on our -10. They are mounted from the inside, bonded and riveted. They have very nice threaded connections, look professional and perform well.
