Hi Neville,



Just to confirm that I would also like a Classic fuel filler kit, in case my email to you about this didn't reach you.



Cheers,

[quote="graeme bird"]I am thinking of getting a batch of aluminum fuel filler pipes made for the classic to replace the rubber trunk.



Hello to all, I would like to replace the rubber fuel hose on my Classic. Can anyone give me information about the 13070 mod regarding possible suppliers and if anyone is interested in changing their's to get a batch price please let me know?

I am based in Grenoble, France



Regards



John

Nev or whoever eventual does this,



I have a bunch of excess quantity 6061 T4 & T6 - Aircraft quality tubing in 50 x 1,0mm that may be of interest.



I made mine out of 50 x 1,0 stainless steel (before I had the aluminium). It is still quite a bit lighter than the rubber article, and stopped the smell!!

Hi All



I am certainly interested.  My filler pipe is 14 years old and whilst OK 

at the moment will need changing sometime soon.

Hi.I am also interested as my filler hose is getting old and will need replacing soon ( like several years ago ) so count me in.

I know that Nev Eyres was involved in a plan to produce replacement metal fillers some years ago but things got more involved than he expected. I spoke to him a couple of months ago and he said he was looking into things and would be talking to a fabrication outfit, but I have found that Nev is very difficult to contact. Does anyone have further informationÂ

Hi Johnathan



Got no pictures at all not even number 1.  Did get a total of 11 

messages thought!  All the picture links gave 404 not found errors.



Would like to see what you have though, so please keep trying.



Pete

This should be the third picture. It seems that by waiting overnight, the problem with adding further pictures has gone away. You won't be surprised to know that the fuel smell in the cockpit is a thing of the past.

Hi jonothan



Those two worked OK.  Very smart plumbing!



Is that stainless?

It's aluminium and is one of the very small batch of prototypes supplied by Neville. I was approved by the LAA as a repeat mod. If anyone wants clearer pictures, please email me at jdmilbank(at)yahoo.co.uk. I got very tired last night wrestling with trying to attach pictures in Matronics and I wish that they didn't always get so hugely expanded. My remedy for viewing is to temporarily zoom the screen down to 50%.

Just for information, I've been in conversation with Karen at the factory and apparently the 'no objection' letter is all that is required from the LAA for Europa to be able to sell these (at last).  I understand it's imminent . . .

Oops, gave you a bum steer there - the factory are working on a replacement fuel filler solution for the extended baggage bay, replacing the rubber pipe with large bore metal pipework and fluoro-lined silicone rubber end connections.  This is because the supplier of the poly filler moulding has 'lost' the mould - meaning there is currently no XS/extended baggage bay filler solution.  But as i said, I believe its imminent . . . Dave Goddard at the factory is working on it.



BTW i still have the original rubber rubber filler hose (made in January 2001) which i won't use for the above reasons. Although its 15 years old it is unused and there are no signs of perish or cracking.  I also have the original/untouched engine cowling halves . . .

I had a number made by different companies, with varying success, the last lot were good, but they will only do in batches of 100..... so I have bought a tube bender, and have a tube roller on it's way, if you want a job done well, do it yourself ? Watch this space.

  Biggest hassle will be LaaLaaLand... questions from them included.............

  1] what make clips were going to be supplied ['' as all clips are not equal '' ]... Ty wraps would suffice ?

  2] The double convoluted fuel proof silicon connector [ made for the job] would have to be '' investigated '', [ but a piece of the old, perished fuel filler hose made 15+ years ago be the cheapest bidder would be fine ]..............

  3]The suggested [ by me ] fitting of a rubber grommit where the alloy pipe passes through the bulkhead to prevent fretting would not be needed as '' the customer would smell the fuel leak if it were to wear through ''    YES, REALLY !

  And then there are the punters, one such [ not the builder] ranted at me that the one I had sent him wouldn't fit [ as in '' nowhere f***ing near '' ] and moaned about having to pay Â£15 postage to return it to me..... checked out against my pattern, and sent off to a grateful recipient who fitted it in 10 minutes, and reported  ''a perfect fit '' ?

  That was why I dropped it at that time, but on with the case again.

  Cheers,

  Nev
