Aaron Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Well I located and bought a 2-1/8 inch (54mm) socket yesterday, which you need exactly TWICE while doing a 13B engine rebuild. Once during teardown, once during assembly. It cost 30 bucks at sears including the 3/4 to 1/2 inch adaptor I needed. Yes $30.00 for one socket! If anyone needs to borrow it, maybe we can start a waiting list and ship it around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBarber Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Ok, you are in Houston, so am I.....I will be happy to swap...hmmmm, what can I loan you? I actually stopped by tonight on the way home to see if I could find one at both Hi/Lo....uh, O'Riely and AutoZone and neither place even had them. Nice to know that Sears has 'em. Guess I get to go to Baybrook tomorrow. I purchased a core 13b for a hundred buck on Thursday to start playing and learning until the Renesis becomes available (my first choice). Of course it will be a while before I need any engine, I still need to buy those damn wings for my Velocity SE. FWIW. All the best, Chris Quote Christopher Barber Velocity SE/FG w/yoke.

CBarber Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 You are welcome at any time. Give me a call in my office at 281-464-5297, cell 832-818-2355, or even home (the least likely place <g>) 713-991-0333. I am available....and often working with fiberglass, most evenings and weekend...unless SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) has other plans. I got a message from you about the EAA Chapter 12 meeting, but, unfortunatly, I got it after the meeting. Since they made me an officer, I have made all the meetings. As a matter of fact, this coming weekend, I do have some plans, I am scheduled to work at the EAA booth at the airshow in Galveston (Lone Star Flight Museum)at 11:00 am to 1:00pm on Sunday. Good timeing...it is Jana's birthday....."Yeah, baby, we are going to the airshow again this year for your birthday" <g>. Last year she said she enjoyed it.....even for her birthday (sure wish I could predict when she was going to be a good sport <g>). Let me know when is the most convienant for you (including during the business day). Since I am a self-UN-employed lawyer, my schedule is usally pretty flexible. Also, my office is only three miles from my garage/hanger. All the best, Chris www.LoneStarVelocity.com Quote Christopher Barber Velocity SE/FG w/yoke.
