Graham,
Probably not approved by the manufacturer, but necessity being the
mother....
I cut the top section down the centre, riveted about a 2" wide strip of
stainless steel on one side ( a piece with no blood on it ), and added 3
anchor nuts on the other side. Fits together very snugly and I don't think
its integrity has been compromised.
I seem to have resolved my problem with the fuselage firewall material,
but with regard to the Skydrive carb heat, the hole seems to be getting
deeper. I might take some of the stainless off the workshop wall and slash
my wrists in the near future.
If there are any Europas in Alberta or B.C. flying and using Skydrive ( or
flying without carb heat ), I would very much like to hear from them, or
---From others who might be able to put me in contact with them.

I'm not sure if Graham Singleton still makes the moulded phenolic fire
walls, but they really make an impossible task easy. More important it is
possible to take the firewall off if you need to.
I have my bloodied stainless steel bits hanging on the workshop wall.

Hello chaps,
Graham isn't sure either :-[ I just sold my house and super shed. No
future house in sight yet,we'll probable rent for a bit till the dust
settles.
I will be able to make a few in the next few weeks but then I suspect
chaos will descend around me and my Long suffering Long EZ.
I'll see if I can get some pix on the Club site.
BTW Dave, can you get the top half off without removing the engine, if so
how did you arrange it?
Graham
