Rubber Hose Replacement

Hi Bob,

If you can't move what's rubbing on the hose then put a spacer in there so they can't touch and then make sure it is secured. All the planes I do rubber changes on there are many that touch and rub somewhere so I just make sure to keep these areas from touching.

Thanks, Roger.  I’ll have to see what space is available.  You know how tight it is in there.

Thanks for explaining that Jeff. I will have a look closer next time I take the cowl off !!

Hi All

Just a note.  You can protect tight areas of hose by cutting up one of your old ones.  Be sure to clean the bit of any residual coolant and I like to buff off the inside of the old hose with some sandpaper also.  Use a super glue,cyanoacrylate instant adhesive.  

This is the recommended method with clearing a hydraulic governor where you have contact to the sharp edge of the hose.  The old hose bit will be a sacrificial bumper and protect your coolant line.  This is standard on the type 914 just under where the governor would fit.  I attached a bit of the IPC picture with a note.

Cheers

Thank you very much.  Between this and Jeff’s suggestions I’m confident I can eliminate this issue.  I believe it’s rubbing on the air box, but will confirm when I pull the hose.

Thanks again.
