And a Savannah S in Sweden.

I have the PAC02 (15x6.00-6") Tires with RF-004 4.00x6 wheels, that is the same tires icp send out, not sure about the wheel icp send out(easy to meassure).

If i had chosen the RF-009 6.00x6 wheel i could have gone super tundra 26" wheels but i want the Datum rectractable skiis in the future so i got the 4.00-6" wheels, no use for Aussies 003_cheezy_grin.gif.c5a94fc2937f61b556d8146a1bc97ef8.gif

I recon to save around 4~5Kilos, but the intresting part is the "ALIR", makes it allot harder to wack one wing into the ground like Kyle´s aircraft accident due to uneven braking.

They look bloody good Skee. On the original Tyre,rims in the kit I notice the bearing wasn't a sealed unit and between the dust washer and wheel there was a slight gap where dust and dirt can get in over time, did you or others find this as well?

Icp supplied in the kit fabric o ring and a steal washer to seal it, that's all.

How much did the wheel kit cost Dennis?...including that braking valve...I can see it in the box of parts

I emailed you my invoice, I ordered parking brake valve extra. Black Colour extra, wheel caps extra, bleeding kit and oil.

The alir brake regulator was included in the base kit.

 

It's possible to get a hand brake on the yoke with integrated parking brake if you want too save weight and cash, I still wanted the differential breaking though.

 

If you dare to go 4.00x6 tires it's possible too save 2 kilos more but they are more rounder, slimmer. I do think the outback possibilities get limited in that case.

I moved the reservoirs for the brake fluid, this works out a bit better, i also filled the system and tested the brakes,, works like a charm, very easy to bleed the system with the bleeding kit.

Made some plugs for the fiber glass molding, this bonocell is really nice.

We use what we call spraybog. Its thicker than primer and fills the holes really well then you do lots of sanding then do the primer. You can use the primer of course just mixed a little thicker then you basically sand it all off then prime it again with a lot thinner consistancy

 

its a crap job filling pinholes thats they they invented gelcoat

My cowling was the last of the gel coat ones. I think the change was a mistake. They must be chasing minimum weight but where is the point if you have to use a kilo of bog to get a surface fit to paint.

Even a 50/50 mix of gel coat and the resin would be an improvement to rid the pin hole bubbles. May be they had some orange peel events when the first lay up of mat over the gel coat was made???

And i test mounted the cowl again to decide where to put the black line, i had to put it under the air intake.
