<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>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>It is just a pressure tap from the

first. Tap the hole, clean up the burrs, a drop of Loctite, and snug it

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>
