Thanks for you fast response to my letter.
I will now get on with the outrigger latches.
As for the rivets, I did find that when I used a correct size rivet that the
rivet shank bowed inside the tube causing my considerable difficulty in setting
it. This happened even after I eventually reamed the hole to get a very
accurate, snug fit of the rivet. I did many trials on odd bits and found it
difficult to get a satisfactory result. I am more than likly lacking in
experience here as I am not a rigger!
Sorry I got one of my mod references wrong - the mod I refered to as 30 should
be 28 - the one for fitting the bracing struts to the U/C frame. As I said in my
letter I will be bringing my frame to you for all the various mods and do not
need these items to be sent to me. Also as I am bringing the frame to you I do
not need the mod 37 parts - saving postage.
Thanks for the 914 info.
I do hope to see you at Shoreham but my roster is not looking favorable at the
moment - I am on call/stanby for December which is a bit of a bummer.
Take care all
John Bean
