Got a some tip's for you all.

 

Aeroflow AN fittings can be ordered through Burson's or Ripco.

 

Quote the part number found in the Rocket industries catalouge.

Have a good look through it, Cleco's and hose clamping systems, Narca vents can also be found, not to mention fuel cells.

 

All could be had by charging them out to you car, truck or rip off your customer.

Excelent source for Chrome molly steel at good price's

 

Mandrel bend for manifolds as well, silicone pipeing.

 

Disclaimer. If you choose to charge aircraft parts to your customer, company vehicle l didnt suggest it.

 

PS just a bit of useful fun after some series threads on other matters.

Opps most important tip.

 

Your first passenger after passing your GFPT should be your wife.

 

Never mind the thought on downwind that if you really screw up your children are orphans.

Todays new tip.

 

If you are like me and have gone through a heep of power drills through the years, keep the chucks.

 

Stick a drill bit in the chuck and you have a hand tool for removing burr's after drilling a hole.

 

One for the not so faint hearted, put the chuck on a 4" grinder and you have a right angle drill.

 

(goes very fast)

 

regards Bruce

I'd be wary of using the AN hose fittings from this catalogue to replace existing AN fittings in an aircraft. Although they are advertised as AN, than could simply refer to a sizing system, and not to the thread design.

 

However, there are some interesting tools in there. I particularly like the AN wrenches and vice jaws.

 

I see that they sell Dzus fasteners. Most new planes use Camloc fasteners, so Dzuz fasteners are hard to come by. I'd use Dzuz fasteners if I was building from a pre-WWll plan.
