Several items this week, I retreived my upper cowl from the painter who was repairing and painting it after it was damaged. And cleaned (sanded) out the intake ring keys. I mounted the oil filler door. While the plugs were out for the mag SB, I repositioned the prop spinner, using a homemade pointer guage (Mickey noticed it was 1/8" out of center). I got the mags back from Quality Aero , with the updates for the SB's. Larry Schneider (A&P), helped me reinstall them and time them. Before reinstalling the center console, I wanted to get the carpets fabricated and installed, I found some outdoor carpet I like @ HD. I also found some edge trim at a fabric liquidater. I tried sewing a sample on Judy's husquavarna sewing machine to see if it would sew the carpet with the edge binding and IT WORKED !. So I made patterns for the carpet areas , including side panels that go up the side of the wheel wells, I cut out the carpet, and then took it all home and began sewing (binding the edges with the trim tape. They turned out pretty good, and I saved a couple hundred bucks. I bought a 25' roll of Velcro, and began installing the carpet pieces. I've got it all done except for the side pieces in rear pass footwells (I need to install the front seatbelts 1st). and the baggage compartment piece.
