Howard Do you have an original carb Air box? Tim

Re: Refurb Oversight

Hi Tim, I don't think so, was it similar to the Lyc 'kind of a "Y" with no filter? Do you know where an original can be had??

Re: Refurb Oversight

I have one that is real beat up, it has no provisions for a filter, I could loan it and some pieces of one to you if you want to duplicate it.....

That's what I want! An decent open cowl and nose bowl to fit a Cont. 65...

Mike, if you want to go the open cowl route you'll need a different boot cowl too... I know there's someone on the list here who may have a NOS one for sale!!! The upper and lower cowlings are a little hard to find. I may have a lead on a Continental upper. I can put you in contact with these guys if you're interested. I've decided to try and convert a Lycoming cowl. Finding the cooling eyebrows is another goose chase. Some begging and groveling on the list here seems to work sometimes:clue?::

Howard,

The boot cowl on mine is the one for the open cowl. There are standoffs sticking out from the boot cowl to mount the "pressure" cowl. Looks tacky! I bought her this way, but one of these days it needs to be done right. I might be interested in a NOS boot cowl though if you don't mind passing that along. Thanks! PM please.

Re: Refurb Oversight

Mike,

If you pass on the NOS boot cowl, let me know. I am interested.

Howard,

Hopefully, I'm second in line.

The "Inpsector" looks like trust worthy individual.
He may have other interest when aircrafts, like flying bones at the buthcershop!
