    Type 1 VW bolt help needed

    I thought I could figure these out by measuring for the minor bolt diameter. It's not working out well. Hopefully, someone can tell me the bolt diameters and thread pitch for these holes in my AS41 case. I'm buiding up some motor mount plates and a plate to mount a stator like Bob Hoovers plans...

    Flywheel forward prop right or left hand?

    I'm getting ready to order a wood prop for my engine, and want to make sure I am correct in ordering. Kind of like when you order a door at Home Depot and have to visualize if it is left or right handed. What is correct, right or left hand for a flywheel forward engine?

    Sources for mechanical Manifold pressure gauge around 1-1/4" diameter

    I've looked around and found some in the 2-1/8" range, but would really like one that is smaller ( panel space is very tight). I want one that doesn't require electricity to operate. Something that is reasonable quality and cost effective too. I found a 2-1/4" inch one at Summit racing for...

    What clearance between pin hinge pieces on tail feathers?

    A question for folks. I'm making these hinges and wondering what kind of clearance do I need between each one of them? I figure you need to allow for a little movement, paint and the ability to get some lube in there. What clearance is typical on each side of the center hinge ( 1/16, 1/32...
