Hey guys,

Can't remember who gave me the awesome suggestion of using these coil kits, but it worked!   So far anyhow.

I also thank the gentlemen who I talked to on the phone at Jeff's house.  Too noisy to catch his name. His suggestion if cross referencing the size to kits was also genius. I looked up the kit and told the Car Quest counter dude what to order.  

My mistake was using a #10-24 tap but ordering #10-24&10-32s coils. So going to the local ace hardware and getting stainless 10-24s screws fixed it. That will be the only place on the plane with 24 pitch threads. But saved me $1600 on a new fork.

Anyhow, thank you all. So far so good on the fairing.

George
