Hughes" To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" Scott, I pulled mine out of my Renesis before sending the engine to Bruce T for modifications and reassembly. Bruce said I should have welded it shut and not removed it. He said the material was not thick enough to thread. He plugged the hole and safety wired it also. My be different on the Rrenesis.

Hello Everyone... The attached photos depict the heater outlet. I had originally hoped to just use regular heater hose and barbed fittings. However, as my setup has come together there are just too many things trying to make too many turns. What I really needed was a 5/8" 45 degree or 90 degree barbed fitting. I tried my usual spot of fittingsandadapters.com , but no luck. Thus, I am considering tearing the fitting out of the housing and replacing it with an AN fitting which I can use with socketless hose or something of the like. It looks like the fitting is not pressed into the housing, but rather screwed in( I have been unsuccessful at turning it even using heat and cold ). =20 Is it really screwed into the housing? If so, would it be to much to hope for it to be 1/2"npt? Any ideas on how to salvage the simple barbed on hose setup? Any info, thoughts, and references are appreciated.... Thx... -Scott =20 ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!
