old man emu Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 CYLINDER THRU BOLT TOOL FOR JABIRU ENGINES EXCLUSIVE SUPPLIER Can't get a spanner on some of those Jabiru cylinder base bolts after you've fitted the 12 point nuts? Then this tool is for you. Made exclusively for QED Aircraft Parts and Hardware, and used successfully in by a LAME/L2 service organisation. You can have your own for a mere $50.00 (+ the government's take at 10%), and postage if needed. This tool is modelled on the very tool that is used on Lycoming and Continental engines for working on engine cylinders. Old Man Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rallytoyota Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi, I would like to purchase one of these. Cab you supply with the necessary details . Do you have a contact number?? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushpilot Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I can vouch for this device: Just spent today doing the 12 point nuts on one of our 230s, and this made it so much easier.. Great for removing the old nuts and installing the new type - and also for torquing to the required 30ft/lbs, as there is no offset between the socket end and the torque-wrench attachment end, thus no offset calculations required.

old man emu Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 We started to make a couple of these tools this week and found that due to incorrect tempering of the metal after welding, the shaft of the spanner could not sustain an applied torque of 30lbs-ft. We are researching tempering methods to ensure that the product we produce will not fail. The annoying thing is that the tool we made for our shop didn't fail the torque test. We hope to have a solution to the problem by the start of next week. Old Man Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushpilot Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 We had the same problem... But we put a steel saddle on the back of the wrench extension and after welding it we let it cool at normal air temperature - not accelerated cooling in water. This did the trick..

Chris did you remove each nut and replace with new and torque one at a time and what did you have to remove off engine to replace nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVID SEE Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 EXCLUSIVE SUPPLIER Hi OME. Looking around the threads here I can't find the one I'm after. I saw you had a dvd. called the 'mechanics toolbox' or something similar, if that's correct I'd like one please. can payment be done by credit card? Also chasing a couple of the old style bonnet locks/clips, the ones you push straight in to lock and turn a quarter turn to release.

bushpilot Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Chris did you remove each nut and replace with new and torque one at a time and what did you have to remove off engine to replace nuts. Yes, we removed each nut one at a time, adding the new nut after each removal; then torqued one side and checked on the other side. Had to remove all induction and exhaust pipes to get at them.
