Elite Spring Gear crush tubes & compression block questi

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Thanks for adding that Al ! Knew there was a better reason the bolts were in
upside down...thinking cap just wasn't on this afternoon!

Nigel:

I went with compression blocks glued in place.

I don't know how you'd get the rear bolt in once the floor corner wraps

are

in place. The nut goes in via the inspection cutout in the door sill.
Also, your fuel line is probably going to wind up coming out above the
forward bolt, so again you'd have a hard time getting the bolt in from
above.

Nig, one more before I get back in the shop! I Sikaflexed the blocks

in

place. Any thing..proseal, RTV etc would do.

The single 3/8" leg retainer bolt I put the nut on the outsid.....

where

it's easy to properly torque. The saddle bolts probably have some

merrit

going in from below as if you stripped a nut in a hard arrival the

bending

bolt might crate enough friction to hold you up somewhat to negate a

prop

strike.....although it definitely will add a bit of work to switching

over

to the float brackets like you have envisioned!

Cheers,
Wayne
