It has been a long time since I have seen any emails about this, but wasn't there a countersink being sent around for countersinking the screws that go into the cabin top for the front seat belts?
Anyone have it?

Hey John,
Yes, the traveling countersink is in residence and ready to roll. If others are ready (i.e. have your canopy -- you can go ahead and countersink the hard spots before you have the seatbelts), send me your addresses off line and I'll start another mailing loop. Don't forget, I also have the helicoil kit for re-threading the nosewheel fork for the tow studs.
Later, - Lew

In response to the questions about the helicoil kit for the tow studs:
The socket head bolts (allen screws) are fine. Others had posted here that the steel studs eventually stripped the aluminum threads in the fork; either with difficulty threading the studs in, normal wear from installing/uninstalling the pants, or in our case from destroying the pants on the runway! At any rate, it is a five minute fix to drill out the aluminum threads, tap with the oversize tap and install the stainless threads so that you don't have to worry about loosing a stud or pants somewhere with no access to the kit. We paid $50 for the kit -- I'd "rent" it out with the required coils for $5 plus shipping.
Your nose fork and pants don't change, it just allows for the steel threads on the studs to contact stainless threads in the fork instead of the aluminum threads.
