<DIV>I just replaced the umpteenth Teflon header on my plane, this one<BR>> after 9 flights. The headers are made from PTFE?tubing purchsed from<BR>> McMaster-Carr.?For grins I purchased blue tubing to match my plane. The<BR>> failure seems to be caused by the header rotating in the teflon, eroding<BR>> the inside until it fails. I am using a header brace, and I add a split<BR>> piece of teflon to protect the header from the spring clamp clamp</DIV><BR>>
<DIV>?</DIV><BR>>
<DIV>Is there a certain type of teflon with higher abrasion resistance<BR>> that what I am using? Is the colored teflon weaker than the standard<BR>> milky-white teflon? Anybody else suffer from this problem?<BR>> Thanks.</DIV><BR><BR>Bob Kane<BR>getterflash@yahoo.com
