I had a few hours to spare and decided to look at cleaning up some loose ends on the plane. I added Ty wrap mounts with Goop, the stuff is strong and quite permanent. I do not trust the double sided tape over the long haul and feel Goop is a better solution. It takes a while to remove the double sided tape from the mounts, but if you peel carefully you can get the stuff off without too much of a problem. Clean the mount with some alcohol along with the surface you are mounting to and apply the Goop and stick it in place. 24 hours later it is there for good. The cleaning is important however to get the good bond. I also started finishing the air box. I sanded it and gave it a coat of primer. I will now sand it again, fill the obvious bad spots, re-prime and paint. I just want enough of a finish to look good and keep the engine grime off.
