Hi Jim,

I am in process of removing my gear frame to repair/replace the bent bottom gear
pivot tube (present since my purchase, and likely made worse with my side-loading
since), and short of replacing the frame, would like to strip and inspect
the entire frame.

How did you get the frame to un-bond from the epoxy tunnel bedding?

What method did you use to strip the paint/powdercoating?

Can you tell me if the Tubes are all 4130?

Thanks for your detailed pdf report of the cracks, added to my inspection/reenforcing
list.

Cheers,
Pete

This year is extensive since motor mounts and bungee cord need replaced.  After
being alerted by John Wigney of possible cracks in the lower tubes of the LG
frame, we inspected and discovered our frame is cracked like his.  The cracks
are very difficult to find as they are somewhat hidden by the firewall and behind
the vertical tubes of the frame.  Using Johns photos, a strong light, and
magnifying glass, we were able to see a crack in the starboard tube.  A photo
with our iPad actually gave the best indication of a crack.  A dye penetrant
test confirmed the crack.  The crack in the port tube wasnt evident until the
powder coat was removed.  The attached document has good photos of Johns cracks.

using techniques called out in AC 43-13.  We reamed out the tubes and machined
a tube to be a tight fit similar to Mod 72 for the upper tubes except the insert
is the full length of the tube.  The insert is welded to the original tube
with rosette welds, and the cracks were stop drilled prior to welding.  One
bolt hole was elongated so we changed it to AN4.

you check these nuts and if any are at all loose, inspect very carefully for
cracks.

Subject: Europa MT04 engine mounts


Hello,

Can anyone tell me what the uncompressed length/height of a new uninstalled MT04
is?  I measured the ones I recently removed and they vary considerably and obviously
have taken a set.  I suspect they are something close to .970 or 24.6mm.


As noted in a previous email, I switched to Lord J3608-1 mounts.  I contacted Lord
for the recommended preload, however, they indicated there were too many variable
to take into consideration.  That said, they provided me with a drawing
for the 0-200 motor, which isnt very helpful, I am afraid.  Interestingly, I
noted two very distinct differences in the Lord mounts as compared to the MT04s.
First is the hardness, the Lord mounts are quite a bit softer.  And the second,
which surprised me, is the uncompressed length/height which I had incorrectly
assumed to be the same the MT04. You know what they say when you assume
something.  Anyway the Lord mounts are shorter, by how much I cant say at the
moment as I require the uncompressed dimension of the MT04.  Armed with this
information I should be able to trim the space by the delta, which I am hoping
will provide the necessary preload.

Kind regards,

Erich
