Subject: Europa-List: Exhaust Pipe Security
On our 914 powered XS, the exhaust pipe that comes thru the engine cowl gets
loose. We once actually had it fall off, fortunately just prior to takeoff!
We've tried hi temp nuts, safety wiring the nut and made a longer nut from
steel rod which is safety wired, but still the pipe gets loose after a few
hours.
Yesterday, we noticed an old Tech Talk article from Dec 2002 where Andy
suggests drilling thru the stub of the muffler and the tailpipe and
inserting a self tapping screw. Then you are to arrange the screw to be
under the circular clamp. Has anyone done this and does it work?
