    I wish taking out the fiberglass pan was that easy. The ton of zip ties holding it on is crazy. I might have to come up with a quick release for that now.

    Still got the parts. If the scoop doesn't sell I might hack it up to get more air in my cowl

    Been playing with making shirts . So far made 2 for my daughters and 1 for myself. If I could find a profile picture of an avid I could make those . They would be really cheap since I'm just starting these and there's no minimum order .

    I went with 1/8 stainless. Probably not the right one but it's worked for 4 years and no issues

    Trying to get my side work going more
    I'm trying to get my side work going more. I currently have a set up to put actual door locks in your plane , larger coolant resevoir built to your needs . Powder coating and ceramic coating as well as welding and fabrication. I'm working on making a belt drive for the yamaha 130hp that would be a direct bolt on . I've been around belt drives and gear reduction and am confident the design I have will work . I can pretty much make anything and powder coat anything. I'm located in Florida and have done plenty of work for people across the country. Hit me up with anything you need done .

    I'll take some of that stuff off your hands Joey haha . Anything universal that I can use in my quickie project will work . Hell I'll powder coat stuff for you if you want in trade too . I got a couple orders to do this week and I have to make a couple of the trim motor covers. Hopefully my side work stuff picks up to where I can do it for a living . I'm getting ready to make the first belt drive for the yamaha 130hp here shortly. We have the measurements and are now looking into cogs to get the right ratio.

    This is the grip powder I'll be using on my brake pedals in my planes . My bike is suicide shift and my clutch and brake have it. Stuff works great no complaints at all.

    I'll take whatever from whoever it doesn't matter to me . I'll be doing some modifying anyway and then powder coating them with the grip powder I have for the brake parts and just black for everything else .

  23. chopndrag added a post in a topic In search for rudder pedals   

    I could too. I'm a tig welder by trade but I like how the avids are and I don't feel like taking mine out to get the measurements. That will lead to me powder coating them and I already have half a garage of 152 parts to powder coat for someone at the airport.

    In search for rudder pedals
    I'm looking for a set of rudder pedals with brake resevoir attachments . I can use the drum style and fabricate them to use the resevoir but would rather not have to. I'm sure someone has to have a old set laying around on here . I plan on installing them in my quickie project. I'm also looking for a push pull throttle as I already have the avid 3 to one control arm . There's plenty of other parts I'm looking for like gauges and various other things. So basically if you have anything you're looking to sell let me know.
