Hi Everyone
Where in SE Qld can I get that paste to put on your spark plug thread that Rotax recommend? If possible in a small amount and not super expensive?
To all those who took the time to respond. My thanks to you all. Appreciate all your points. On reflection, I will probably stay with the threaded plug, given the infrequency of oil changes.
Thinking of retrofitting a curtis drain valve to replace the drain plug in my 912 ULS's oil tank. Should make oil changes simpler and less messy. Has anyone done this and where best to obtain an aviation grade valve in Australia? Thanks everyone.
Thanks so much for all the replies. Have got the plugs to fill the central valve holes and will use a step drill to created the offset holes. Practised on an old rim and it woks perfectly.
My Savannah VG came with centrally located tyre rim valve holes. The available tubes all have right angle valves which are offset and when forced to fit the central rim holes, are placed under a lot of sideways pressure. I am going to drill new offset holes, with a step drill, in each rim. Would appreciate any advice re potential problems that I may encounter?
