    While I had the winshield apart I decided to remove the old dash cover and put something else on. Got this at JoAnn Fabric for $3.00. It’s trunk liner.  It’s also used to cover speaker boxes. One can of 3m spray adhesive and I was in business.

    I already bought the truss head screws, grommets and SS washers. I will give this a try this round and plan for nutplates next time around. 
    Yes, those were large tapered head rivets. They were to short for the application. 
    Hope to get this windshield cut and drilled today.

    I happen to be familiar with Police slashing systems. Galls makes and sells a controller unit used on a lot of Emergency Vehicles. I figured these would be overkill for our lights. I’ll admit that electrical systems are not my strong point. Thank you EDMO

    I bought a set of these also. Whichever ones I don't use on the plane will mount on my JD Tractor.

    Can these lights be hooked to the Crazed Pilot controller to make them Wig/Wag and flash??

    Thank you. I got it apart in about 30 min. I have to say I’m not impressed with how this was installed. All the rivets used were to short and most didn’t even protrude through the ribs. The front ones were tapered head soft rivets that were also to short. We will do a much better job installing the new windscreen.

    Thank you EDMO. You wouldn't by chance have a picture of the gromment / bolt set up would you? I don't think installing nut plates would be that bad since I am removing the dashboard to recover it with trunk liner. I will take it down to my EAA folks and see what they have that might work.

    If it was not already starting to crack around the front wing attachment I would try this stuff.

    Yes, they are vinyl graphics. A company out of Oregon makes that scene. I had the planes made at a local vinyl shop.

    Cowl/muffler interference
    After my last flight I noticed a burn mark through my cowling. The last curve before the pipe goes into the muffler is touching the cowl and it burned a hole in the cowl. I did take the exhaust manifold apart and must have moved something. The plane had flown before and little interference was noticeable. Should I try and move the muffler over in it’s mounts to gain clearance? You can see in the first picture that the wear point has moved locations. The lower black mark is the new one.

    Replacing windshield
    I going to replace the windshield soon. I have a whole roll of Lexan from another project. Can you guys tell me what those fasteners are along then bottom of the windscreen? Pictures attached. Also, is there any changes I should consider while I have it apart?

    Ivo props
    I’m looking for an IVO prop for my Mark IV and wonder what size and length you guys recommended or are running on yours?  2 and 3 blade. I found a couple but not sure what I need for this application.

    Great looking site Mark. I emailed you with photos of my plane also. I sent one of mine on the trailer. I have a couple of photos with the wings folded I will send you.
    How as a group can we help Avid Aircraft out?  Are you in need of anything. 
    Thank you Mark and good luck in your new adventure.
