harv Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 Well the belts arrived from Carl. One seat done !..... Harv 5
BlrwestSiR Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Looking good there Harv. At least the other seat is just lap belts. Carl 2
harv Posted November 1, 2018 Author Posted November 1, 2018 Well well well. Finally finished something! Calling the pit done. Let me know what you think. Getting there!....... Harv 6
harv Posted November 1, 2018 Author Posted November 1, 2018 The one disappointment to me was the dumb ass control knobs, no way to put it the right spot and TINNY. If I had some PE ones, i could of made them work. Not happy with mine.......Harv
harv Posted November 4, 2018 Author Posted November 4, 2018 Need to know what you think. Does the braided piece look scale for plug wires? Let me know.... harv 3
Martinnfb Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Hmm, for 1/24 maybe? I am gonna ask Wolf what he's using. Harvey , Am I seeing things , or are there 2 sets of push rods, front and back?
harv Posted November 4, 2018 Author Posted November 4, 2018 It will be a little thinner. Its bunched up a bit.This was recommended by Wolf in Phoenix. Yes, but thats the way the kit builds.....Harv 1
Martinnfb Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 The wire you guys both bought was 0,6 , Wolf sad that this diameter is suitable for the main wiring harness connection on his Merlin, for radials he's using.010 led wire. I checked the instructions, the rear set of pus rods is wrong, needs to be removed . ... or else
harv Posted November 4, 2018 Author Posted November 4, 2018 Thanks Martin. I thought the rear set was for the rear cylinders 1
Martinnfb Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Not at all, it was confusing at first. However it is an easy fix, just brake them off . Good show Harvey ! 1
Wolf Buddee Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Hey Harvey, Martin is correct regarding the second row of pushrod tubes. HKM gives you two too many sets. There should only be one set at the front of the engine and another at the rear of the engine. Like he said, cut the pushrods tubes off of the ring as you'll need the ring for correct spacing of the engine components. He specifically said brake/break but I'm usually a little more surgical, LOL! With regards to the plug wires, the 0.6 braided line is definitely going to be too big. I'd use it for the flexible conduit between the magnetos and the ignition ring. For the actual individual leads to each spark plug, I checked, and I use 0.15 lead wire. Cheers, Wolf 4
harv Posted November 4, 2018 Author Posted November 4, 2018 Hey ol' buddy ! so what color do you paint the wires ?.......Harv 2

Do yourself a favour though, paint your lengths of lead wire first, and then touch up any spots where the paint may have flaked off. Give my regards to Bev! Cheers, Wolf 3
harv Posted November 5, 2018 Author Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks Wolf ! Bev's in Cal watching our grandson. Our daughter went to NY for her 40th. Man I feel old !LOL........Harv 2
