Hi All,

           Just like to let all Europa owners know. When I removed the 

torque tube for Pat Tunney to take away to be machined ready to fit the 

clamps, I was amased how little of the loctite 603 was actually in 

between the tube and the TP12 and TP9. The TP12's are a tight fit, the 

TP9 not so much. did I carry out SB 15 correctly !! I think so. I know a 

few guys have tried using a vacuum hose to pull the loctite in. maybe 

they had better luck. to my mind the only way to go is by fitting the 

clamps.



Danny G-c.e.r.i  ( feeling a lot safer )



Ps.  Thanks Pat, the clamps fit perfectly.

Hi Danny,

   Your observations are quite normal. About 1/2 to 1mm penetration of the 603 is all that is required to do the job.

Hi Danny.

You will be well pleased with the clamps, mine are as solid as a weld no movement, I am pleased you are fitting them, as this is an area which has always bothered me. I think you have spent you money wisely. 

However a friend of mine had the Loctite fail after two or three years, and I am confident he did a good job of loctiting the tube first time, as he could not separate the parts due to old Loctite, he cleaned with fluid and re Loctite the joints, which have been ok over the passed few years.

Hi Alan,

              When I did the SB15 it seemed to be ok for quite a while, 

but over the last few months the movement started to increase. possible 

still within tolerance, but worrying  . Pat came down three weeks ago 

and took the tube away to get it machined. he returned this Saturday 

morning and fitted it. There is absolutely no movement, a great fit. My 

inspector came down this morning and signed it off, very impressed.

Pat's a nice chap, just charged for fuel. highly recommended.



All the best Danny.

I have had some further interest in the clamps. To keep upfront manufacturing costs down i need at least 4 interested builders / flyers. 



If interested please contact me through e-mail and i can explain the process and costs.

Just another point based on Bob Harrison's message, the clamps that will be supplied are the MK2 style clamps as detailed in LAA Standard Mod SM11906.



As always and previously mentioned - i take no credit for the clamp concept, this is down to Bob Harrison. SM11906 offers an alternative solution utilising the clamp concept.



Regards



Pat
