<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>The thickness is about 3 maybe 4

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks guys, sometimes I over-think stuff and
make something simple into something complicated =)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And BTW, I think removing the backplate for
drilling anything back there should be like step #1 in the ole manual...I'm
an A&P, so that was a no-brainer for me. But it also makes me want to
over think stuff. Half of my problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm going to have a look at the OS corner
fitting there and see what's involved, and I may just do the backplate. BTW
anybody know how thick that thing is? Are we talking 1 thread or
4?</FONT></DIV>

question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, maybe I'm missing something obvious
here. But, I have an OS 160 FX and a Perry V30 pressure type pump. Where
in the heck do you tap this thing for pressure? There's usually a boss
in the center of the back plate, or the back plate is smooth, or
something. This engine has raised egdes that wouldn't allow for very
easy drilling and tapping. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions from those that have done
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks,</FONT></DIV>
