    Re: Original style round inspection hole covers

    My stack of 30 factory-made inspection hole covers arrived today from my man Antonio at Taylorcraft in Brownsville, along with 60 loose spring straps. These are all nicely pre-drilled, but they'll need riveting. Two parallel straps per cover, one inch apart. Four small vent holes, punched so the dimples go inside, rather than protruding toward the outside. Slight 1/8 inch wide bevel around the perimeter, but otherwise flat. Four and 5/8 inches diameter.

    (On a side note, I've been getting excellent customer service from Antonio with my last few parts orders. He offered to paint these with a new coat of primer before he shipped them. He also apologized if sometimes the phone rings and rings with no answer -- there's no answering machine, and if he's away from the desk picking and shipping parts, there's nobody else there to pick up the phone. Just like the Maytag repairman...)

      Remember they should have steel tube rivets.

        Tom,

        I never cease to be amazed by, and grateful for, guys like you who have forgotten more about Taylorcrafts than I can ever hope to learn. Do you know a part number for those hollow steel rivets?

        And not to get all Talmudic on you, but in case the judges ask, where is it written about the hollow steel rivets? Are they mentioned on a drawing somewhere, or do you know from seeing them on old inspection plates?

          Joel,

          Attached is an L-2 drawing with the cover assembly inspection cover. It calls out rivet part number A-935. Unfortunately I do not have drawing A-935. Ask Forrest if he does.
