YESSSS!!!

We Drink it all lighter fluid to Corona to JetA.
It keeps us smiling

Ok back to 101
I have noticed the pads on the calipers have significant wear
already. (like 2/3rds gone).
I think in figuring the type of pads to order we were a little
lame in our assumption.
I beleave the rotor speed to be approx 3000 rpm at idle. (6,600max.RPM at 100%n1--Idle is 46%N1 is 3036rpm)
If you were to figure that as tire speed (60 inch tire covers 60 inches in one rotation) its traveling at a high rate of speed.
That being said I have ordered the top of the line pads.
They are wilwood 1000 dual piston calipers.

. They do wear out pretty quick but not that quick. A set lasted for about a month or so of running 3-4 times a week.

Filled the 5 and1/2 inch old Piston exhaust holes.


Sorry I didnt post the procedure had no batteries for the digital yesturday.

It hit 75 degrees....Got it done.
Basicaly had the original plugs that came out of the hole saw mixed up some west system and through in some thickener
I think its 406.
Wraped the circles with some biaxial cloth to take up the space the hole saw took out. Threw the goop on and vwala.
Backed up with some square sheets of biaxial from the inside
of the transom.
Note to self do this before putting all the riiging back in boat.
SH@t gets everywhere.

Couple sags in the primer. Hey what ya gonna do?

39 degrees today. So much for painting it.
